Synopsis: At Oceanfront High School, female students are being targeted by an unknown serial killer. Meanwhile, a married teacher hides his flings with nubile students, and an awkward male is frustrated by the plethora of uninhibited freewheeling young girls.

Sex & Nudity Reason: Sexuality is depicted throughout the film and is reflective of the open mindedness of the 70s. Teachers flirt with students, and students flirt with teachers. Female students wear revealing outfits and short mini skirts, again all of which was common for the day. There are a handful of sex scenes, with frequent but very brief views of breasts and women's butts. No full frontal nudity, no male nudity. All of the sex is depicted as consensual. The overall narrative of this film portrays predatory sexual relationships between adult teachers and their high school students, both male to female and female to male. Many camera angles emphasizing upskirts and provocative dress. Several incidences of full female nudity. A male is revealed to have an erection, which is visible beneath his clothing. A male reaches beneath the sweater of a female to massage her breast. Discussions of a sexual nature, including erections, impotence and promiscuity. As the film ends, student Ponce is poised to take over the vice-principal's role of "counseling" the female students; i.e. seducting them.

Violence & Gore Reason: Several camera shots of clothed corpses without blood or gore. Two very brief images of strangulation. Sports-related football violence.

Profanity Reason: Swearing by a football coach in a locker room situation. Slurs include a coach calling the players "pussies", and a cop referring to a black student as "nigger." Relatively frank discussions of sexual matters.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking Reason: One character smokes cigarettes throughout. A couple of instances of alcohol consumption.

Frightening & Intense Scenes Reason: A character is depicted as trapped by the murderer and unable to escape. A car with two occupants goes off a pier into the water, and for a while we don't know who survived. The murder aftermath scenes are relatively mild, almost humorously done.
