The Love Blackmailer
1970 Jean Christopher
Russ Tarren lives off unfortunate women who he blackmails. By coincidence he finds a room which he rents from Lola (an ex-stripper) who owns a rooming house overlooking new high rise apartments. Lo1a tries to make it with her new boarder only to be rebuffed. While Russ casually glances from his window one morning, he notices a very attractive woman almost unclad in one of the adjacent apartments. Thinking of the interesting possibilities, he purchases a pair of binoculars and spends time watching his attractive neighbor. In a short time he becomes familiar with the activities of Barbara and her executive husband Frank and her doctor boy friend who enjoys lovemaking sessions with her while the husband is away. With the aid of a telephoto lens on his camera Russ takes a number of compromising photographs of Barbara and the doctor. Stephen and Barbara spend a weekend together at Niagara Falls, and Russ now having the ammunition for blackmail decides to act, first with a telephone call. Barbara suddenly realizes that she

and the doctor (Stephen) have been watched, and agrees to let Russ come to the apartment in order to avoid a scandal. Russ instructs Barbara to leave the door unlatched and not to tell anyone else, otherwise photographs of her and her doctor will immediately find their way to her husband. She is terrified and awaits his arrival hoping that she can buy him off. Russ enters the apartment unseen, and then shows Barbara the photos, telling her that his price to keep them from her husband is to go to bed with him. She finds no way out of her situation and allows Russ to have intimacy with her. She is more horrified to learn that he has no intention of letting her off the 'hook' and that he will have her whenever he wants. One of Russ's other victims who is a married woman is unable to make her payment to him, and is forced to meet his demands in the room of a small downtown hotel, where he threatens to ruin her marriage if she doesn't come up with money quickly, Russ finds Lola the landlady having ever increasing desires on his attentions, and he has problems in keeping her out of his room. The situation for Barbara becomes desperate when her husband Frank becomes suspicious of her activities while he is away, and follows her and Russ. A showdown follows and she has to tell Stephen what has happened. The situation is resolved when a visitor in the form of Tina takes the situation into her own hands after her husband has thrown her out. She pours bullets into Russ as he is watching a television movie, and then walks out into the night.
