Unable to get housing on campus, young co-ed Scotty (Balding) finds a vacancy at the Engels’ mansion, now a boarding house for college students. Mrs. Engels (DeCarlo) and her son seem nice enough, but it soon becomes clear to Scotty that something is not right at her new residence. When her fellow boarders begin to get brutally butchered, two detectives (Schreiber and Mitchell) must solve the mystery of the Engels’ boarding house before the body count rises.

The suave, psychedelic-era thief called Diabolik (Law) can’t get enough of life’s good or glittery things. Not when there are currency shipments to steal from under the noses of snooty government officials. And priceless jewels to lift from the boudoirs of the super-rich. The elusive scoundrel finds plenty of ways to live up to his name in this tongue-in-cheek caper. He clambers up walls, zaps a press conference with Exhilaration Gas, smacks a confession out of a crime lord while freefalling with him from an airplane, and pulls off the heist of a twenty-ton gold ingot.
