Three whippings at the T-Bar. ‘Linda,’ ‘Mary Margaret,’ and’Katie’ sit stiffly on a bench, facing the T-bar, in the barren NW studio. We will see they are not wearing pants, just tops, pantyhose, and heels. A lithe and kempt young Ed Lee arrives with his whip. The girls have totalled the “company car” on a little jaunt “over to Las Vegas.”
Lee selects curly-haired brunette ‘Linda’ to position first. The T-bar is simply a galvanized pipe ‘T’ about nine inches high on a low light plywood platform, the size and shape of a briefcase. The girl steps on, like a bathroom scale, bends and grabs the pipe. her top rides up to expose her pantyhose bottom. Lee has said in one of his “instructional” films that this is one of his most painful devices and that it must be used with caution. It produces taut buttocks with no fleshy parts to absorb the blows. There are many illustrations of toe-touching and ankle-grabbing producing shocked responses. Leave it to the NW construction dept to manufacture something!
Lee uses a dogwhip, and ‘Linda’ begins squealing when Lee makes it clear that is what we expect to hear from her. The whipping is interrupted by trips to the corner, top rucked up, bottom exposed, then back to the ‘T.’ these position changes lengthen the film, because the whippings must be controlled.
Blond, studious ‘Mary Margaret’ leaves her eyeglasses behind when she rises to assume the position. We counted her lash strokes: 4, break, 11, corner time, 12 more, corner time, 7, break, 10, break, then one of Lee’s closing flurries of 20. Total of about 65 on the pantyhose.
Charming blond Katie takes her turn, in the anchor position in a NW film, as she often does. “Pull your sweater up, bend over and grab the bar.” Lee makes her say, and repeat loudly, “I’m a bad girl and I’m getting whipped on my bottom.” To conclude, the three girls sit silently and gingerly on the bench.
