The lucky lady is swimsuit model Betsy Jones-Moreland, one of three survivors of a global nuclear war. They go deep sea diving off the coast of Puerto Rico, then return to the surface to find everybody dead.
Robert Towne - who later wrote Chinatown -is one of the two men left to fight over Betsy and repopulate the human species. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it. (By the way, Towne used the name "Edward Wain" in the credits. Was he concerned about future critiques?)
This is one of three movies that Roger "King of the B's" Corman made in five weeks during a trip to Puerto Rico. It's now in the public domain.
