SYNOPSIS
Jake VanDorn, a prosperous furniture manufacturer in Grand Rapids, Michigan, sees his daughter Kristen off to California for a Calvinist convention and is horrified when he hears that she has gone missing. He travels to Los Angeles and hires a private investigator, Andy Mast, who returns to Grand Rapids with a reel of pornographic film featuring Kristen. VanDorn takes up the search himself by posing as a pornographic film producer and, with the help of a prostitute, Niki, traces Kristen to San Francisco where she is in the hands of Ratan, who makes snuff movies. When Mast and VanDorn finally find them, Ratan is shot by Mast and Kristen leaves with her father.
