At first this sounds like a good thing. 1970s porn usually has so silly story lines and so low production values, even Franco could have made it better. This time he was able to try anything sexy without worrying about the rating. Even his annoying sudden zooms are in place in a 70s porn flick: back then everybody used to zoom in on the genitals an awful lot. And these years in Switzerland were a strong period for Jess Franco, with relatively decent budgets and finer work than his usual. This disaster is close in time to Barbed Wire Dolls, which is good by exploitation standards and to Love Letters of a Portuguese Nun, which is rather good by any standards.
The Swiss businessman Robert visits a strip club-brothel and decides to sleep with one of the girls, black-skinned Marga. Then disaster strikes: while he actually sleeps the girl jumps from the window. While she's in coma in the hospital, the police arrests him for attempted murder. His wife Lola does not want to let him rot in prison (which would be very understandable in my opinion) but decides to investigate the background, to clear his name and then leave him as a free man. So she applies for work in the brothel, which is now lead by Lena, an exhibitionist hobby-stripper and also the Lesbian girlfriend of Marga (who may look like a cheap whore -- as Lola refers to her -- but actually she owns the place).
At this point the direction and cinematography seem to be rather good: everything happens in the same small rooms with a claustrophobic feel. The compositions are dominated by strong black-red-white and the bright stage lights are always shaded with clouds of cigarette smoke. Even the shaky camera work seems to emphasize Lola's anxiety. Regretfully all this remains so till the end of the film and consequently gets tedious rather soon. (It is strange in a Franco film, but there is no tropical island sequence here.)
