KILLER IN DRAG, by Ed Wood, Jr.

Meet Ed Wood's alter ego Glen/Glenda, whose ravishing beauty and musical voice entrance and bewitch every male in sight. Impeccably attired in either gender, assassin-for-hire Glen becomes Glenda when it's time to eliminate double crossers, sharpies, slouches, and assorted credit risks for the Syndicate.

But Glenda is tired of the killing and wants out of the murder game. Her plan is to take up with a millionaire sugar daddy and score some major bucks to finance her sex change operation. But when bed play is interrupted by gun play, and a jealous former lover blows the aging lothario away, Glenda takes off, leaving behind a velvet evening bag with her identification inside. Blood dripping from her pink satin negligee, she hightails it with the cops and the mob on her trail, because once the Syndicate finishes with you, all you can expect is a big funeral-all expenses paid.

Donning dapper menswear when it suits him, or slipping into Glenda's stilettos and angora sweaters for his own purposes, Glen falls in with some hopped-up carnies, a slinky exquisitely dressed prostitute who shares her wares and her wardrobe, and two local-yokel sheriffs who are out gouge him before they turn him in. A couple of high-speed chases and some smashed-up goons later, Glen escapes to California with all his angoras intact. But little does Glenda know that the red-haired assassin-with lips and nails to match-Paul/Pauline is breathing down her lovely long neck, since the Syndicate figures it takes one to know one.

Killer in Drag is a repulsive recitation of blood, sex, and scandal, brought to you by none other than Ed Wood.
