After the attractive local college English literature professor is brutally attacked and assaulted for refusing to give star football players a free pass, Treat Williams character is determined to get revenge. He discovers that the most of the star football players on the college team are using anabolic steroids. Of course, these players just happen to be aggressive, disrespectful jerks. According to Treat Williams, such “wired” behavior could only be attributable to steroids or cocaine. Steroids? Cocaine? What’s the difference?! Apparently, these drugs must be pharmacologically similar since they are both on the controlled substance list.

Anyone who has seen any of the previous movies in the Substitute series will know to expect a high body count in a Treat Williams movie. A single assault and widespread steroid use by the college football team do not provide sufficient motive for significant casualties. So, the steroid scandal is escalated when Treat learns that the head football coach is supplying his team with steroids who in turn is acquiring them from a local organized crime syndicate.

The final straw for Treat is the death of a college football player in the gym. The athlete was inexplicably lifting weights in the middle of the night, performing bench presses without the assistance of a spotter. After several repetitions to failure, the football player is unable to rack the weight. The bar falls on his neck and ultimately asphyxiates him.

Treat discovers the player’s limp body underneath the bar the following morning. Inside a gym bag next to the bench, Treat finds a bottle of Anatest, described as a veterinarian steroid used for race horses. Somehow, Treat determines that the dead weightlifter was injecting enough steroids for “three tons of horse flesh.” In spite of the overwhelming evidence that a weight bar loaded with several 45 pound plates pressed against the next of the lifter was the cause of death, Treat concludes that the death was caused by a steroid overdose.

The death of the football player inspired Treat, as the substitute English literature professor, to give a heartfelt lecture warning his class (and football players in his class) of the litany of side effects one can experience from steroids. I don’t think a single purported side effect was omitted during the course of his lecture. Treat continues by hammering home the point, that… “Steroids can kill you. Not years from now or down the road but right now, today, this minute.” Powerful words, if not completely untrue.

Dr. Gordon Childs, a top sports physician has abandoned his medical practice to focus exclusively on developing designer steroids for professional athletes in track, football, baseball, tennis, etc. The designer steroids were in such high demand than anyone who was anyone knew this steroid doctor. Dr.Childs had access to top athletes and shared the lavish lifestyles with them.

Unfortunately, the terrible side effects of his designer steroids ultimately led to his downfall. A regular user of his own product, Dr. Childs became impotent and was unable to perform sexually on many occasions. During one group sex encounter, he became increasingly frustrated at his impotence. So, after a quick injection of his special “clear blue” designer steroid, he was given a rush of homicidal aggression that compelled him to inject several syringes of steroid into the back of male athlete that was having sex with the doctor’s lover.

Given the powerful properties of the steroids he developed, this bolus was a lethal dose. The athlete died instantly from a steroid overdose.

The terrible addiction to his own designer steroid inexplicably leads Dr. Childs to become a serial steroid killer. He murdered at least four athletes. His modus operandi was a syringe full of deadly designer anabolic steroids. Apparently, the steroids were so good that a little would make an elite athlete the best in their field, but too much was deadly!

Unfortunately, the reality of the matter is that no amount of anabolic-androgenic steroids is capable of killing anyone instantly. There are many side effects associated with steroid use, most of them reversible, but there is scant evidence that steroid use can be acutely fatal.

Anti-steroid crusaders will find an agreeable ending consistent with their agenda; the roid-raging steroid user (Jeff Soskin playing Marty Hawkins) dies from a “massive steroid overdose” as the result of a “steroid hot shot” with twenty times the potency of the average steroid dose!

This is one of the most uninformed depictions of anabolic steroids and so-called roid rage in television history rivaling Ben Affleck in ‘A Body to Die For: The Aaron Henry Story’ and Peter Billingsley in ‘The Fourth Man’ in its degree of absurdity.
