To spice up his party, a baron invites the notorious Countess X, who's
known for dancing naked in front of strangers and the like. However, his
invitation never reaches the Countess because a pretty thief (Rachel Mhas)
steals it to later come to the party herself and pretend to be the
countess. At the party, she drugs everyone's champagne, and the whole
event turns into a big orgy (with the pretty thief participating
enthusiastically, mind you). Then the real Countess X (Karine Gambier)
shows up for no particular reason ... but she's too quick to join in the
fun to deal with the fake Countess. During the orgy, the pretty thief
steals everyone's jewelry - but when she wants to retrieve it from its
hiding place and leave, the jewelry is gone ... stolen by Arsène
(Jean-Pierre Bouyxou), who was wise enough to not drink the champagne
after the pretty thief drugged it. But he didn't want to rip off the
pretty thief but only help her make a clean getaway (even if she has to
flee in the nude) to later offer her to work together on a regular basis. At
best mildly interesting piece of hardcore porn by Jean Rollin. The
beginning, in which the pretty thief wants to steal the invitation but
then almost forgets herself masturbating is funny, so is the thief's
outfit, and the ending is rather amusing, plus a few pulp references à la
Jean Rollin here and there are nice at least - but that's about it.
Basically, most of the movie is made up of just one big orgy scene, and
that scene really isn't that special, just a few couples fucking with the
camera moving about between them a bit on the aimless side ... and it
drags on and on and on with surprisingly little in terms of narration even
for an orgy scene. Plus, for a Jean Rollin film, this one contains quite a
bit of dialogue, and not all the performers seem to be up to the acting
side of their performances, which really throws some nice punchlines out
of the window. Well, at least the girls, especially Rachel Mhas, are cute,
but unless you're a die-hard Jean Rollin fan, this is anything but a
must-see.
