Filming location(s) unknown.
The story: Al Adamson. A man who grew up within his parents' self-made independent silent film direction.
As a young adult, Al learned he was better at giving orders when it came to films than being given them.
So, in the 60s, Al became a filmmaker in his own right.
A king of independent exploitation and B-movies, that is.
Many of his early movies didn't see much popularity, but there were people who really enjoyed his cinematic style.
Plus Al hired and used over and over the likes of many aging film stars who were more than happy to be a part of any film project.
Marrying his longtime leading cast actress Regina Carroll in 1972.
Al's last major film was made in 1978, but he and wife Regina finally retired from the movie biz in the early 80s.
The couple then went into the real estate industry which they worked on together until Regina's death in 1992.
Everyone who knew and loved Al always said how great of a guy he was.
But he was also known to be very cheap.
In 1995, Al was living in a home he was fixing up to ultimately sell in Indio, California.
There, he had hired and was living with contractor Fred Fulford.
Fred was to fix up the house to sell and was given a personal credit card of Al's to pay for expenses.
Things became tense between the two after many confrontations between Al and Fred, involving the money being spent with the credit card until one day, without warning, Al disappeared...
