Plot

Richard Hatch stars as Nick Demec, a get-rich-quick schemer who stages a bodybuilding competition at Muscle Beach in Venice, California. The film included performances by several professional bodybuilders, including Franco Columbu and Frank Zane, and also co-starred Kay Lenz and Jeanette Nolan.[2]

The film was conceived as a pilot for a television series, but the concept never developed beyond this production.[3]
