Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Linda Vargas picks up Ortiz in a bar where she works in a lesbian show with Maria Toledano. She seduces him, phones the police and kills herself. Ortiz is held on suspicion of her murder. Ortiz's wife, Rosa, visits a friend of Linda's, the Countess Anna de Monterey who tells her how Linda went into a spiral of sex and drugs after being assaulted by Ortiz as a young girl at a fair-ground. Linda became the Countess's lover, then had a disastrous love affair with Alberto, the Countess' boyfriend. Rosa also meets Maria, who holds Linda's diary, where she relates how a fake Doctor turned her away from drugs and into a nymphomaniac. Written by Artemis-9 |

| Trivia | Jacqueline Laurent was fired from her position as a drama teacher at a private high school in 2014 because her students learned that she had appeared nude in this film. The school's administration said that her body of work, including several other erotic thrillers in the sixties and seventies, posed a distraction and terminated her contract. See more » |
