Vollrath eventually became a karate Grand Master and acquired black belts in several different styles of the martial arts. He began training in the martial arts in 1967 and was the first person to earn a black belt in karate while training out of a wheelchair. Ted had to have both of his legs amputated because of severe injuries received in combat. Vollrath served in the US Marines and fought in the Korean war. Ted Vollrath was born in 1936 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Even when Sue is shown hopping around in a bikini or strapping on her prosthetic leg in her underwear the film never lets up with it's Douglas Sirk like approach. Will they fall in love and live happily ever after, or will they experience a strange twist of fate? What makes this movie such an oddity is how seriously it is played. Steve eventually tells her that he loves her but she rejects him, due to the pain of her last failed love and the fact that Steven already has a fiancé. Steve Hartman, a dashing young doctor who offers her a job as a nurse, saves her from a group of thugs and gets her an apartment. Heartbroken in the hospital, she meets Dr. When her fiancé learns of this, he leaves her. Sue Imes loses her left leg in a car accident. This amazing mid 70's sleaze soap opera exploitation classic has been lost for over 30 years! It is a virtually unclassifiable blend of extreme melodrama, early 50's cheesecake shots involving a real amputee and more visible boom mics than “Dolemite” & “Chained Heat” put together!
