Plot

It is the last day on the job for hospital volunteer Sharon (Nancy Hoffman). When the volunteers assemble at the start of the day, head volunteer Sarge (Sharon Thorpe) notices that Sharon is absent. Sarge finds Sharon performing oral sex with a doctor and takes her back to work. As the volunteers go about their duties, they have various sexual encounters with the patients and staff.

At the end of the day, staff and patients hold a party for the departing Sharon. Sarge walks in. When Sharon confronts Sarge and calls her a "prude," Sarge reacts by pulling up her dress and forcing Sharon to pleasure her. The party promptly becomes a sex orgy.

Production

Richard Pacheco made his debut in the film. Anxiety over acting in his first film had caused him to break out in hives. During his scene with Nancy Hoffman he had great difficulty maintaining his erection.[2]

Reception

Candy Stripers has been inducted into the X-Rated Critics Organization Hall of Fame.[3] Screw magazine called it "the best sex film of 1978". In July 2008, Terminal Press released a limited-edition comic book version of the film, written by Brian Ferrara.[4]
