- A young woman teases, seduces, and emotionally destroys young men for her own twisted enjoyment.
- Sharon is a young office worker who sexually teases, seduces, then cries 'rape' on various men just to see them emotionally suffer for her own man-hating, twisted amusement. This leads to one lovestruck boyfriend being sent to prison, the financial ruin of another, and the meltdown and death of a third victim. Sharon even teases her lesbian roommate Paula by come-ons, then brushes her off. But eventually, Sharon meets her match when she comes on to Tony, a controlling and misogynistic thug who reacts to her teases and threats in a way for which she never prepared herself.—matt-282
- Sharon Winters (Stacey Walker) is a cynical nymphomaniac who sends men to passionate heights and then cries "rape." In the opening scene, she comes onto a man, named Roy Bradley (Michael O'Kelly), in his parked car, cries rape when he becomes overeager. A passing by policeman places Roy under arrest. Sharon testifies at Roy's rape trial, play-acting as the "poor, innocent, virginal, rape victim" where he is falsely convicted and sentenced to prison.
Sharon's next victim is Dick Owens (Tom Hughes), a shy employee at the company where she works as a secretary. She brings him over to her house one evening where after serving him some drinks, she sexually teases him before he makes a move on her. She tries "rape" once again and he flees into the night... and out of town, never to be seen or heard of again.
Sharon next teases and comes onto her lesbian roommate Paula (Sharon Carr), whom she lures her with her interest and nude body. After Paula gives Sharon a massage, she gets into bed with her. But then, Sharon throws her out and claims that she "may be a bitch, but will never be a butch". Paula leaves in disgust and avoids Sharon from this point onward.
Sharon's next victim is Lowell Carter (Neville Coward), a man hired at the company as Dick Owens replacement as controller, which Sharon comes onto during his first day on the job. She takes her time with her next target as he casually courts her with Lowell taking her on long drives in his convertible, takes her out to dinner, swims with her at his apartment block pool, and on steady lunch dates away from the office. On one evening at her house, when Sharon continues teasing Lowell with her come-ons, he makes a move, but before she can cry rape on him, he himself stops and claims that he is not ready yet and leaves.
That evening, Lowell has a nightmare where he ties up Shannon to a post and whips her in a bondage role. But soon, Sharon is seen in the silent dream sequence dressed in all black leather as a dominatrix in which she ties up Lowell and whips him in a S&M dominatrix uniform before she castrates him with a knife. This shakes Lowell so much that during their next dinner date at his house, he becomes more unsettled and unbalanced. As Sharon lures him to bed to tease him, he complies and it is here that she finally cries rape on him before he leaves. Driven to near-insanity, Lowell wonders the streets of Los Angeles late at night before he follows and attempts to rape a random woman before he is shot dead by the woman's boyfriend. Sharon learns about Lowell's death the next day at work from her boss, Mr. Gordon, and his secretary. Despite showing some concern, Sharon expresses no guilt or remorse (nor does she admit any involvement) for Lowell's death.
Another day or two later, Sharon is back on the streets prowling for her next target. While sitting on a park bench in Santa Monica, she begins flirting and batting her eyes at all passing men. One man approaches her, introduces himself as Tony (Bob Todd), and asks her out. She accepts. Tony appears to be a nice guy and takes her to Pink's Hog Dog stand for lunch. The suave and well-dressed Tony appears charismatic and charming to Sharon. Tony picks up Sharon from her house that evening takes her out to a nightclub where many of the patrons appear to know him. While watching a mod band perform, Tony takes the stage to sing a song which he wrote titled "I Want A Woman". Sharon continues teasing Tony and coming onto him.
At Sharon's house later that same evening, she serves him a drink, sits beside him on the couch and continues flirting with him. As Tony finally makes his move onto her, Sharon, just like all the others, cries rape, but in a turn of events... Tony does not stop. She claims that she is a virgin, but Tony just scorns her cries and continues to try to force himself upon her. As Sharon begins struggling with Tony, she slaps him across his face. Suddenly, Tony becomes violent and beats her with his fists until her whole face is bruised and bloody. Tony is revealed here to be a misogynist and heartless Mafia-type thug who is MORE twisted and deranged then Sharon, and he ends up raping her... for real.
In the final scene, the once beautiful Sharon now bears the physical scars of Tony's brutality; she ends up working for him as a prostitute. In the final shot, a disheveled and bruised Sharon stands on a street corner with a lit cigarette dangling out of her mouth. A passing john offers her money and she walks away with him down the street to a nearby hotel.
The End.
