I am led to believe this detective is a "leg man," and has a thing for little white ceramic horses

I have delved deeper into the amazing(ly bad) world of Doris Wishman's catalogue of 70's exploitation flicks. Yes, I'm a glutton for punishment. And, these ain't getting any better. On one hand I'm totally puzzled on a myriad of levels, on the other, I guess I get some unintentional laughs (the best kind).

Arthur likes to maul women, in repeated bizarre (and unsuccessful) attempts to have sex with them. So the woman he loves and wants to marry... He strangles. Enter Arthur's uncle, a detective who insists himself on the case (there are a few insanely redundant and mind numbing coercion scenes to be found here), and the story (har har) is comprised of this hard-boiled, no nonsense detective (so no nonsense, he hardly says anything, and will just bail on a witness, in a whole series of confoundingly irrational interrogations) talking to women who recount their encounters with Arthur, via flashbacks.

It is revealed with 10 minutes remaining, that Arthur had a penis transplant with some psycho womanizer with a fetish for gold earrings. Go figure.

I am troubled by the thought that "Deadly Weapons" was the highlight of this Doris Wishman set I got. I feel like there is still a world of hurt in store for me.
