girl Keo (played by Laura Gemser under the pseudonym Moira Chen) from

imprisoned and was tortured by the Communist regime after convicted of
being a spy. Now, he's gone back to rescue Keo, the young woman he loves,

Laura
Gemser made this film shortly after Bruno Fontana's DIRTY
SEVEN. Most all of her movies were directed by Joe D'Amato, with
theBLACK
EMANUELLE series remaining her best known. However, during
this period, she branched out and worked with numerous other cult directors
including Bruno Mattei (VIOLENCE
IN A WOMAN'S PRISON), Sergio Gobbi (INTERNATIONAL
PROSTITUTION), Jose
Ramon Larraz (AND
GIVE US OUR DAILY SEX), Alan Birkinshaw (HORROR
SAFARI) [et al]. Laura retired from acting in 1991 after
the death of her husband Gabriele Tinti. She then became a Costume Director
for D'Amato's production studio, usually working under the
name Laurette M. Gemser.
