It all starts with Howard (Edward Albert) being on the phone to his wife Amelia (Linda Blair), telling her about his promotion, when he gets into an accident that almost kills him. It turns out the accident was caused by Erica (Julie Strain) using witchcraft because she thinks the promotion should have gone to her husband Larry (Larry Poindexter). When Larry finds out, he gets into a massive rowe with Erica, even if he doesn't believe in black magic, and that rowe ends with him pushing her off their balcony to her death - something that weirdly enough has no legal consequences at all. Next Larry throws out Erica's sister Maria (Toni Naples), who has lived with them and whom Larry has had sex with upon Erica's suggestion. Then Larry gets things going with his former girlfriend Carol (Rochelle Swanson) again, as it turns out Erica has used a love potion to make him love her. That said, Larry sees Erica pretty much everywhere, just as if her spirit has refused to leave. Meanwhile, Amelia hides her own gardener Stan (Michael Parks), who's accused to have killed his family, and she sends him to Larry for cousel, but once there he completely freaks out, attacks Larry and eventually makes an escape, returning to Amelia, who shoots him dead as he seems to attack her. Apparently, Stan has dropped a charm at Larry's, which Carol takes and wears, just because she finds it pretty - but then she gets under a spell, as it turns out that Amelia is also a witch who wants to have her revenge on Larry, because Erica caused Howard's accident. And since Howard's wheelchair bound, the plan is for her and Howard to take over the bodies and lives of Larry and Carol. Maria, who's actually a good witch, tries to stop Amelia, but Amelia kills her. And when Howard finds out and opposes her plans, she ties him up. Larry and Carol meanwhile renovate their house together with Don (Lenny Juliano) and Kathy (Kristi Ducati), but Carol's attitude gets more and more out of bounds, as she makes moves on both Don and Kathy, ultimately knocks them both out and goes after Larry - and everything ends happily only when Howard manages to free himself, get hold of a gun and shoot Amelia dead ...

Horror fave William Marshall plays Larry's boss.

A rather routine erotic thriller, this one with supernatural overtones, where more of an emphasis is put on showing the film's female actresses (safe from Linda Blair) in the nude and having sex - but at least the sex scenes are worked upon narratively in this one, not just tacked onto the plot. Plotwise though, the film doesn't make 100% sense and has its fair share of plotholes, and on the thriller front the film only really comes into its own in the finale, when Larry and Carol's and Howard and Amelia's altercations are intercut to maximum tension. In all, no masterpiece, just genre routine, but not at all a disaster either.
