Part One:
This black and white, mono-sound fictional film is the second half of “One Way Ticket to Hell”, a drug addiction scare film that was apparently first released in late 1955 under the title “Teenage Devil Dolls“. It was made on a shoestring budget of $4000. The storyline spans from 1949-1952 and portrays a young girl named Cassandra Lee, who makes friends with the wrong crowd and becomes addicted to drugs. And as the story proceeds, she is caught in a downward spiral of addiction and crime. The film is directed, written, edited, and presented by B. Lawrence Price, Jr. (aka Bamlet Lawrence Price Jr. ) with photography by William R. Lieb and S. David Saxon, and is narrated by Kurt Martell. One critic described the film as “an obscure, anti-drug, anti-juvenile delinquent anti-rebellion morality story, all told in not-so-glorious Dragnet style narration“.
Part two begins with Cassandra walking through town during her probation period (00:08). She notices a woman, named Margo Rossi, in an alley suffering from narcotic withdrawal, and she tends to her (00:53). Margo and Cassandra are selling marijuana to a man on a street corner (02:02).
