A right motley bunch of ne'er-do-wells kidnap the daughter of a wealthy businessman. They subject her to all manner of sexual humiliations, some of which involve pool cues and switchblades and are positively jaw-dropping. After enduring and then enjoying the sexual shenanigans the victim develops a Stockholm Syndrome type infatuation with the chief male protagonist. Despite the kidnapping and the collection of the ransom all going rather smoothly, petty jealousies within the group cause it to implode in a grand finale of mass kinky sex and violence. Believe you me, I'm not joking.
An extremely sleazy film featuring euro-cult exploitation regular Ajita Wilson and a rare outing in a non-Franco film for his wife, Lina Romay, who looks pretty good in this picture. In fact, all the female co-stars are pretty easy on the eye, which even without the sex and violence, would still make this film still quite diverting.
Meanwhile, the men meanwhile also expose their chests in that classic 70s/80s macho continental style with optional medallion accessory. No evidence of waxing here, if you've got it you may as well flaunt it. Also, present is a lively enjoyable soundtrack including plenty of funky guitar and brass for the bump and grind scenes which make up the bulk of the film.
Obviously, the film has been shot in a hurry on a shoestring budget but has been made with some skill, is reasonably well acted, and contains enough instances of fairly erotic softcore sex, unattractive hairy nutsack style hardcore kinky sex along with enough gore and violence to keep even the most jaded exploitation film fan more than happy.
There appears to be three versions in current circulation:
There is a Spanish DVD version (non-anamorphic widescreen, spanish audio, no subs) with softcore sex replacing the numerous hardcore scenes in the 'stronger' edit, including the most notorious shots, and with more dialogue. This running time for this is 1hr 14 mins 19secs.

http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/2098/asdvd4.pngA full screen Italian VHS of a poor, faded and scratchy print containing the hardcore scenes and the notorious shots of graphic insertion of various interesting objects in certain female orifices. Most of the longer dialogue scenes present in the Spanish disc have been removed here. The running time for this is 1hr 08mins 00 secs.

http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/5641/asvhsb1.pngHopefully, someone like Severin or one of the specialist European DVD companies will eventually release the full-length complete version. So, in the meantime, I've made a composite version by inserting the hardcore scenes from the full screen Italian VHS rip into the Spanish DVD and replacing some of the alternate Spanish softcore sequences. The running time for this is 1hr 39mins 05secs.
Supposedly, there's also an english subtitled VSOM composite of the two versions that exists but I dread to think what the quality of this will be like. No doubt piss-poor judging by most VSOMs offerings.
In my view, a must see for the Euro Cult aficionado.
