Hell Comes to Frogtown is a 1988 post-apocalyptic action movie directed by Donald G. Jackson and R.J. Kizer and starring Roddy Piper as Sam Hell. The story is set in post-nuclear America where most people are infertile. A nomadic traveller Sam Hell is a rare exception, so he is an object of interest of Medtech, the medical branch of the government where only women are in power. Together with Spangle (Sandahl Bergman), a medical expert, and Centinella (Cec Verrell), a fierce soldier, Sam is sent on mission to Frogtown, the dwelling of froglike mutants who have recently captured a group of fertile women. Sam have to release them and then make the work of breeding stock. At least the first part of the mission doesn't make him happy.
