DAMAGED LIVES


Ok, so the guy makes a drunken mistake and bangs a floozy who isn’t yet aware that she has syphilis. He then gets married and passes the sickness on to the Mrs.

Meanwhile, floozy contacts our Sinner and begs his forgiveness as she tells him what she has transmitted to him. A self-inflicted gunshot and the floozy goes to her eternal reward. This leaves Sinner with the prospect of having to deal with medical treatment for himself and his not-as-yet forgiving wife. The doctor shows the Sinner several institutionalized patients who have varying degrees of late-stage syphilis. Really, it’s enough to make ya puke!

Anyway, Mrs. Sinner turns on a gas stove to try to kill them both in their sleep (presumably because of her shame), but things turn around in time to lead up to DAMAGED LIVES’ hopeful ending.

VENEREAL DISEASE is a short bonus feature, probably filmed in the early to mid-60’s. It’s probably comparable to any health class film you’ve ever seen. Not so heavy on the “shame” aspect but more on the “you HAVE tell the doctor who you’ve been with” angle.
