God damn COMMUNISTS have kidnapped a racist mad scientist from an asylum for the criminally insane. They’re going to use him to engineer a pheromone to control insects and use them to conquer the United States. Only the Penetrator can, uh, penetrate them.

[Little Timmy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another men's adventure series from the 70's. Pretty much standard action, violence and sex. However a good standout is that the hero is healed and trained by an old Cheyenne Indian in the ancient mystic warrior ways of the Cheyenne. Recommended
