Introduction
"Co-ed Call Girl" is a 1996 tv drama movie directed by Michael Ray Rhodes. The film stars Tori Spelling from Beverly Hills, 90210 fame, Susan Blakely and Scott Plank in the lead functions. It informs the story of an ignorant young college lady who is misinformed into the dark world of an elite escort service.

Plot Summary
Spelling plays Joanna, a shy and ignorant college student studying biology. Her aversion to social scenarios has actually kept her isolated from her schoolmates. Ron, Joanna's sleazy and manipulative partner, played by Scott Plank, persuades Joanna to accept a blind date orchestrated by his friend Marla, a convincing lady who runs an escort service.

Initially, Joanna is convinced that the service is simply high-class friendship and is tempted by the generous settlement used in order to pay her tuition charges. Overlooking her booking, she accepts join as she's in desperate need for cash due to a strained scholarship.

Descent into Darkness
Joanna's life deviates when she understands the genuine nature of the escort service and the social implications it brings along. Despite initial success and the attraction of money, life ends up being difficult as she begins experiencing the seedier and troubling sides of the business. She deals with concerns like stalking and harassment by customers, adjustment by her employer, and alienation from her family and friends due to her new way of life.

Eleventh Hour Redemption
Experiencing the darkness of the life she has chosen, Joanna tries to extricate herself from the escort service. This journey is marked by many battles, particularly due to Ron's attempts to prevent her departure from this life that has shown profitable for both of them.

Her efforts to go back to her former life are met an overwhelming truth: her track record has been stained, her scholarship remains in jeopardy, and her social relationships are strained.

Despite the odds, Joanna's grit and determination guide her. She handles to sever ties with the escort market, challenging Marla and Ron, who are accountable for her descent into the sex industry. Ultimately, she succeeds in piecing her life back together and returning to college.

Conclusion
"Co-ed Call Girl" checks out the dark underworld of the escort market from the viewpoint of an innocent and naive young woman enticed in by the pledge of simple cash and an attractive way of life. It highlights the severe truths behind the often-glamorized life of classy escorts. The story brings to the spotlight the exploitation and control frequently discovered within the industry, while concentrating on Joanna's personal journey through this challenging world, and her ultimate redemption.

However, it falls under the mistake of being overly significant and unrealistic at times, a typical function of numerous similar made-for-TV true-crime dramas of this period. Regardless of its flaws, the film provides an essential message about the dangers of systems that exploit susceptible individuals for earnings.
