Plot
Steve Victor is a spy and scientific investigator for the group Organization for the Rational Guidance of Youth (O.R.G.Y.). Victor is given a mission to determine the location of three prostitutes who are due $15 million from their deceased female manager. Victor starts on the trail knowing only that the three women each has a tattoo on her buttocks of a gopher grinning. He is stymied in his efforts by hired assassins Luigi and Vito. Luigi and Vito have an interest in the investigation because they provided financing for the burlesque business. Another prostitute Gina states her lack of interest in her owed portion of the money as she does not wish her wealthy spouse to find out about her activities. Gina tells Victor some clues about how to locate the other two women, although Victor later discovers they are both deceased.

Why this record matters
The phrase “1970 film by James Hill” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q18915097. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1970 and 1965.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
