Timothy Farrell is a promoter for women's wrestling. He also dopes horses and is an intermedary in bookmaking, holding out money on Mr. Big aka Phil Lennon..
It's an excuse to turn about fifteen minutes of women's wrestling into a story film, but it's done in such a cheap manner that it's laughable. The actors can't read their lines convincingyl, and the big finish, where Farrell tries to run with the money and Mr. Big's hoods come after him is shot wild. It's Mystery Science Theater 3000 material, and was given the treatment in the seventh series.
Farrell's life reads like a character out of a James Ellroy novel. Besides playing sleazy characters in sub-B movies, was also a bailiff for Los Angeles County. This caused him some embarrassment when one of the movies he was shooting was raided. Eventually he was appointed County Marshall, and was almost immediately indicted and convicted on felony charges. He died in 1989 at the age of 66.
