Caught & Caned: The Burglar

 

‘Caught & Caned: The Burglar’ (40 minutes) in a Moonglow movie that was probably made about 2005.  It was packaged together with an older movie ‘Jenny’s Audition’ and released on DVD (Moonglow DVD Catalogue no. C35) in 2005.  The DVD was also released by 6666 Productions.  The Moonglow DVD of ‘Caught & Caned: The Burglar’ and ‘Jenny’s Audition’ is currently available on DVD from Roue Productions (www.roue.com) and from www.hotmovies.com and other video-on-demand services.  The 6666 Productions version is available from Hotmovies which lists this movie as being 64-minutes long but I have that version and it is only 57-minutes (more about that later).

‘Caught & Caned: The Burglar’ features Tom Cooper (Peter Carothers), Sara Benachour (Angela King, Peter’s mistress) and Nicky Montford (Daniella, the burglar).  I have read that there is a connection between ‘Caught & Caned: The Burglar’ and the Moonglow/Top Marks co-production ‘The Wicked Kane Club’ (Moonglow DVD Catalogue no. C38, Top Marks TM-31) and that Tom Cooper and Sara Benachour play the same characters in that later movie (more about that later as well).

‘The Burglar’ opens with Peter and Angela, a couple who obviously incorporate spanking into their sex life, preparing to go out for dinner.  Angela starts teasing Peter that she has a ‘cold bottom’ and he obliges her by giving her a hand spanking followed by a hair brush paddling that includes a few swats with the bristle side.  This opening segment last about 8-1/2 minutes.

They go out to dinner and return to find a burglar in their apartment.  Daniella, the burglar, has been
able to break into the apartment through the bathroom window that was left open by Angela.  They capture the burglar and decide to take her to their playroom where they give her the usual choice, corporal punishment or arrest.  Of course, she chooses the corporal punishment.  Peter orders her to undress and the punishment that follows consists of a hand spanking followed by 25 strokes of the cane, followed by 6 on her hands after which she starts to dress.  She has a few comments before leaving which lead to another 20 strokes through her pants.  The final few strokes, while she is bent over, seem particularly hard.  He sends her away after her punishment is complete.

After Daniella leaves, Peter returns to Angela who is waiting for him in the bedroom.  She is has piled the comforter and pillows at the end of the bed and she is lying across them waiting for her punishment.  Peter gives her 25 strokes of the cane, some are quite hard but one is wild, and then the couple embrace and fall into bed together.

I have two copies of this movie.  One is the 6666 Productions version purchased through Hotmovies and the other is a bootleg downloaded off the internet.  The two are virtually the same length (only 2 seconds different), and both have a ‘BFI’ bug, but there are significant differences between them.  The most significant is that the purchased version lacks the hand caning scenes.  I noted above that the 6666 Productions version of the DVD available from the video on demand sites is listed as being 7 minutes longer than the Moonglow International version.  Four minutes of that difference is in 'Jenny's Audition' but something still doesn’t seem right.  The 6666 Productions version of 'Caught & Caned: The Burglar' should still be 3 minutes longer but it isn't.  Plus, it is missing the hand caning.  I’m not convinced that the version on Hotmovies is the full 6666 Productions version.  On the other hand, the bootleg version that I have has a sound synchronization issue which makes it difficult to watch it it must be missing some other scenes to compensate for the additional length of the hand caning scene.

Regardless of which version you watch this movie suffers from poor production values.  The rooms used as the sets are small and seem to be sparsely furnished and the choice of camera positions leaves much to be desired.  The dialogue is simple and uninspired although Nicky Montford does liven it up in places.  The action is good but the movie is simply too ‘bare bones’ to be really enjoyable.  I decided to review this movie because of reports I read that said this movie and a later Monnglow movie ‘The Wicked Cane Club’ were related.  I’ll talk about that in my next post.
