★★★★ · A Spoof · The_Emperor_Of_Television · 2013-02-03
This is a spoof of films like "The Lonedale Operator" and others. If you've seen any of those sort of films (usual plot: women finds herself threatened by burglars or something like that, and waits for some man, usually a lover or brother, to come to her rescue) then this parody will be much more amusing.
