A girl has to parachute out of a nosediving plane; she lands on a tropical island and is held captive by two couples. This German film (original title Teufelscamp der verlorenen Frauen) bears precious little resemblance to the movie poster.
Susi (Patricia Adriani) is strapped up with a parachute as her plane goes down.
She lands safely on a beach (filmed in the Canary Islands).
She finds herself at the point of a gun by a guy named Henno (José Antonio Ceinos).
The man and a woman named Silvia (Bárbara Rey) take her back to their camp.
There's another couple on this island - Maud (Brigitte Stein) and some dude we don't care about.
Silvia and Maud watch the two men fight while Susi is tied up inside.
Silvia (Bárbara Rey) does a dance for Henno.
Lots o' time spent just milling around the base camp.
Silvia and Henno relax on the beach.
Okay, so there is a flimsy backstory that we keep having to endure. It's Susi's rich lover, and there's a whole story here, but it's too boring to type out. Just don't worry about it.
Henno tries to rape Susi, but Maud and Silvia put a stop to it.
Another captive joins Silvia, and they're able to get free of their bondage.
They find a weapon and perch at the window.
The criminals are wounded.
Silvia tries to escape, but no dice. (Don'e you love how her blouse is torn perfectly?)
Silvia is shot. Indeed, all of the criminals are taken out.
But it's out of the frying pan and into the fire, with further gang members.
Susi finds an abandoned house. Don't ask me why she hangs her clothes on a clothes line. They try to make it out like she's thinking back to her past and may be going crazy... but we know it's just an excuse to get her naked.
Susi finds a gun.
But it's too late. The two bikers approach.
Remember the guy that helped her escape? He's back, and saves her.
The make love.
The rest of the bikers converge on the home.
They hold them off until they run out of ammo.
The final scene has both of them killed (off camera). THE END
As much as I appreciate Patricia Adriani being nude for the entire last act of the film, it was too late. I was already checked out. Boring and pointless. Even worse, auteur Hubert Frank tries to use that fuzzy, soft lens for most of the picture. You know - the lens used for most Playboy pictures from 1978 - just intentionally blurring everything for no damn reason.

★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
