A UCLA student film by Ronald Raley. Fellow UCLA student Jim Morrison (future member of The Doors) participated as the director of photography. A faux scientific film supposedly made by the "California Institute of Neuropsychiatry."

Using shock treatment, the patient is taught to loathe images of himself as a male escort and love the new personality created in the lab.
