A young couple
discovers the hiding place of fugitive Nazi criminal Dr. Mengele, tucked
away in a remote Uruguayan mountain community. They promptly discover
that he doesn't tolerate uninvited visitors. The girl is killed but her
boyfriend Marc escapes. He teams up with a former nightclub dancer - once
Mengele's mistress - and they contact a community of International Jewish
Nazi-Hunters. While awaiting further orders, Marc puts together a special
fighting unit, all with a personal score to settle with the Nazi butcher.
At the same time, Dr Mengele and assistant Wolfgang continue conducting
brutal experiments on the locals while developing the Fourth Reich.
This quirky
slice of exploitation was written by Jess Franco and helmed by Andrea
Bianchi, a popular genre director responsible for a wide variety of exploitation
films including FLESHY
DOLL, GILDA,
CRY
OF THE PROSTITUTE and MASSACRE
[plus some XXX hardcore like MORBIDLY
YOURS with Karin Schubert and Sirpa Lane's EXCITING
LOVE GIRLS]. He also made MANIAC KILLER (under the name A M Frank White) the following
year. Mr Bianchi retired from filmmaking in 1995 at age 70. Afterwards,
he lived quietly in Paris [where he refused to talk about his filmmaking
career] until his death in 2013 at age 88.
