Summary: Don't Let This Happen To You...
Review: Bill and Mary were just two typical all-american 25 year old highschool students, playing tennis, drinking hot cocoa, and reciting Shakespeare. Then, Bill got mixed up with the "wrong crowd". He ended up at their house of evil, where He took a "hit" from a marijuana cigarette and "freaked out". Bill joined in with "satan's children" as they danced uncontrollably, played piano jazz, and had wanton abandon sessions! Meanwhile, Mary's brother borrowed her car, took a puff from a "hemp-joint" and drove uncontrollably, running over a pedestrian, laughing mercilessly. Ultimately, poor Mary ended up at the "drug den" herself, being introduced to the "killer weed" by Ralph, a crazed "pot fiend" given to uncontrollable fits of hysterical laughter. Ralph took advantage of Mary, causing Bill (who was having a wanton abandon session with a female "pot-head" in another room) to lose control and attack Ralph. Suddenly, the swinging "dope pad" was turned into a murder house, as the co-owner of the hangout drew a gun. Bill fought him and Mary was inadvertantly shot dead! Bill was framed for Mary's homicide and Ralph was committed to an insane asylum. And, remember the wicked girl Bill was having wanton abandon with? Well, she was called upon to testify in court, and wound up diving out a window! Let us learn the lessons here! Remember, smoke only good wholesome tobacco, or drink harmless, invigorating alcohol; and leave the "reefer" to the ne'er-do-wells and hepcats of the world...

Summary: This flick's a riot
Review: If anything, this movie demonstrates that the 'War on Drugs' goes way back before Nancy Reagan's 'Just Say No' campaign. Watch 1930's era police and federal agents make drug busts and incinerate thousands of dollars worth of drugs. But we all know that for every pound of weed seized by the U.S. Government, a thousand pounds is enjoyed by decent law abiding pot heads. Nothing has changed in seventy years.

The movie starts out with a scrolling written warning of the perils of the 'demon-weed'. It could happen to you, you'.or YOU! Then a preachy, holier than thou high school principle is addressing parents of the student body. He begins to tell a story that happened 'right here in our neighborhood'.

Our story unfolds and lo and behold, decent, clean-cut, American youth succumb to the evils of Mariuhana. Watch a decent youth smoke a joint in his car, then run down an old man in the street. He doesn't even slow down after he clobbers the guy. Remember, this is the 30's cars weigh half a ton and are made of steel. And watch the crazed piano player at the soda stand takes a 'smoke break'. He looks like an insane derelict as he smokes a joint in the closet.

Anyway, May and her drug-dealer boyfriend lure young kids into their house and offer 'cigarettes' to get them high and hooked. Of course the evil drug causes insanity, jealousy, rage, horniness, and nervousness. A girl gets shot, the drug dealer gets beaten to death, and his girlfriend launches herself out a window after she confesses.

Of course everybody's favorite is the dude who needs to go to the loony bin for the criminally insane. He is so enslaved to demon weed that he no longer has a brain of his own.

This film is hilarious. How sad it is to think how much money and effort has gone into the losing battle of fighting drugs.

Summary: Very Funny!
Review: This movie should be seen by anyone who has ever smoked marijuana. The characters act so bizarre and crazy after smoking that it is hard not to laugh. It is hard to believe that people really used to think that smoking could make a person behave like this. This movie is also a great collectable because this film is a good example of the type of propaganda shown to the american public during the "Reefer Madness" movement of the mid 30's.
