15 year old Silvia (Sherry Buchanan) is found hanged in the lovenest she had with her boyfriend, in what at first appears to be a suicide soon turns out to be murder - which apparently didn't happen in that lovenest at all, and apparently the girl had sex shortly before her death, and not with her boyfriend, he has an airtight alibi. Inspector Silvestri (Claudio Cassinelli) and assistant district attorney Stori (Giovanna Ralli) soon start to investigate, and it soon turns out that every witness they can trace down soon becomes a suspect, like  photographer Bruno (Franco Fabrizi), the family doctor (Lorenzo Piani) or even a sleazy private dick who seems to have vanished - until his body is found, cut into pieces. And then there's a helmet-wearing killer on a motorbike who roams the town, trying to kill everybody who could act as a witness with a meat cleaver - even assistant district attorney Stori is on his list, apparently, but she makes a tight escape. But she and Silvestri carry on, and eventually they cover up a prostitution ring of underaged girls, and apparently (and for obvious reasons) those who run it apparently don't shy away from murder to protect their interests. Plus, it also turns out they've got some "clients" pretty high up the social ladder (including ties to politics) to back them up to avoid any kind of scandal ...

Mario Adorf plays a detective who's investigating the case early on and whose daughter later turns out to be part of the prostitution ring.

Even if this movie's (English) title suggests this to be a sequel to Massimo Dallamano's Cosa Avete Fatto a Solange/What Have You Done to Solange from 1972, the two films are completely separate entities - while What Have You Done to Solange was more of a straight forward giallo, What Have They Done to Our Daughters is basically a police procedural, and only some rather brutal murders and of course the leather-clad killer remind of giallos at all. But in any case, this is a very tense thriller, with lots of breathtaking chases in car, on motorbike and on foot, sex and violence in all the right spaces, plenty of suspense, all packed in a very stylish whole, crowned with a bunch of first rate performances.

Definitely not to be missed!
