Amongst their storied catalog, few names were as significant as The Mighty Monarch of Exploitation, David F. Friedman whose incredible contributions to genre cinema were matched only by his encyclopedic knowledge of every facet of exploitation movie history.

Realizing that it will be instrumental in furthering his own experiments, he breaks into the store to steal it, killing the shopkeeper in the process.  Now, with Jekyll’s body transformation formula all to himself, Dr. Leeder becomes the sultry “Miss Hide,” who uses her newfound sensuality to seduce - and murder - men and women alike. When a detective starts investigating the strange sex killings, \"Miss Hide\" is forced to resort to even more brutality to cover her tracks. Directed by Lee Raymond and produced by Friedman’s regular collaborator, Byron Mabe (\u003cem\u003eShe Freak\u003c\/em\u003e), it stars Rene Bond (Fugitive Girls), Jennifer Brooks (\u003cem\u003eWorking Girls\u003c\/em\u003e), and Jane Tsentas (\u003cem\u003eEvil Come Evil Go\u003c\/em\u003e) as Miss Hyde, this soft-X horror epic offers a nasty twist on Robert Louis Stevenson’s literary classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA peaceful Mexican village is besieged by the power-hungry General Esteban and his assistant Sgt.

Don Manuel determines that the only way to bring peace back to the region is for his tough and studly son, Don Diego, who’s studying abroad in Spain, to return and help the people fight back against their villainous oppressors. However, in order to first outsmart his enemy, Don Diego affects an outrageous camp persona at nighttime, donning the cape and mask of the fearless Zorro.
