Tangential adaptation of John Norman's Tarnsman of Gor that has exactly one redeeming feature:  then-recent Playboy Playmate of the Month Rebecca Ferrati in a primitive bikini.  Urbano Barberini is thoroughly unconvincing as wimpy physics professor Tarl Cabot, who is mysteriously transported to a counter-Earth named Gor, where he must learn to fight with sword, shield, and bow to recover an artifact stolen from Miss Ferrati's city.  The embarrassingly slack script is filmed straight by director Fritz Kiersch, who did somewhat better with his first film, The Children of the Corn.  A tarnsman, by the way, is a person who can ride large warbirds called tarns, but don't expect to see one in this bargain basement effort.
