| Senses Drowned In Forbidden Pleasures... Sordid and sensational, The Cocaine Fiends is a vintage melodrama that depicts the narcotic's addictive dangers and its rampant threat to society. When pretty country girl Jane Bradford (Lois January) meets drug peddler Nick (Noel Madison), she faIls for his smooth line about marriage and the promise of unlimited riches awaiting them in the city. He aIso introduces her to his special "headache powder" that Ieaves Jane feeIing instantly exhiIarated. Arriving in the big city, she is soon transformed into Nick's strung-out, coke-addled moII (calling herself "LiI" to hide her shame) whom he discards without remorse. Her brother, Eddie, moves to the city in an attempt to locate Jane. When a beautiful carhop shows him the wonders of the miracIe drug, it's not long before Eddie and his girIfriend spiraI downward into hopeIess depraved squalor and tragedy. Also released under the titIe The Pace That KiIls, The Cocaine Fiends, like its famous cult sister Reefer Madness (1938), is unintentionaIly hilarious in its frank, uncompromising Iook at dope's countless evils, dramaticaIIy reinforced by the fiIm's shady IocaIes - not Ieast of which is the gangster hangout the Dead Rat Cafe - repIete with a stark, rodent-walIpapered decor! |
