A washed-up tennis
star, compulsive gambler Michael Levine, wagers his wife in a poker game.
And loses to a slave dealer. He then begins a relationship with his wife's
best friend who convinces Michael to murder wealthy aunt Lady Henriette,
a woman who uses her island for a prostitution racket. Meanwhile, a female
detective named Peggy (Olivia Pascal) is investigating the white slavery
cartel and soon finds herself a victim on the deadly island.
This is a very unusual
project for popular German actress Olivia Pascal, the 'girl-next-door
beauty' who made a name for herself with a decade of Euro sex comedies
(including FRUIT
IS RIPE, POPCORN
AND ICE CREAM,SUMMER
NIGHT FEVER, COLA
CANDY CHOCOLATE, et al) before moving to TV with the hit
sketch-comedy series BANANAS.
Director Hubert Frank
(born Hubert Franz Woisetschläger on September 27, 1925 in Czechoslovakia
[now Czech Republic]) is a novelist, scripter and director of 25+ films.
He is mostly known for his erotica shot in the 1970s, sometimes under
the pseudonym of Jack Regis. His movies - always high on cinematic quality
- tended to be a bit meanspirited (ANGEL
AND THE BEASTS, CATHERINE
CHERIE). He retired from the business in 1988 and today - in his
mid 90s - lives quietly in Austria.
