A
mobster is killed for a million dollars, but the money goes missing. A detective is out to recover the loot and
goes to pay a visit to the widow, who winds up being a nympho. Her daughter, Baby catches them getting
romantic and takes photos of them in the bath tub. When his captain sees the pictures, he has
him thrown off the case. After Baby and
her mother are murdered, the detective goes on the trail of the killer, a sexy
stripper who works in a Mob-owned night club.
Did
Baby $hoot Her $ugardaddy? is an uneven, but mostly agreeable ‘70s skin
flick. The strip club scenes are the
best part. There’s a memorable dance where
a woman in a black trench coat brandishes a toy shotgun, but my favorite number
was when a dancer wearing a motorcycle helmet shone a flashlight into the
audience for some inexplicable reason.
Although you’ve got to wait a long time to get to the T & A, the
short running time and snappy pace keeps things popping right along.
The
scenes with the detective are decent enough.
The actors aren’t quite strong enough to pull off their roles, but
whenever our hero’s getting tangled up with Baby and her sex-crazed mother, it
works. (The reveal of the blue-faced
corpse is effective too.) While the
ending is pretty much a bust, the dated ‘70s fashions and music go a long way
to keeping Did Baby $hoot Her $ugardaddy? afloat till then. Fans of ‘70s kitsch will love the song,
“Baby’s Got a Fever” that plays over one of the stripteases. That ditty alone is almost worth the price of
admission.
