Gwendoline and her French maid Beth search for a rare butterfly that her father may have died trying to find. Enter a third character, a soldier of fortune and reluctant hero by the name of Willard, who Gwendoline pays to assist their struggles.

I can't say anything great about the film. It had horrible sound, and if anything, was 80s camp. Something Badman or Zombieslayer would appreciate more. But it did have interesting sets, from jungle scenes to desert scenes to 1920s China scenes to futuristic underground cities.

The other plus was Tawny Kitean and Zabou managed to elude their tops in just about every other major scene. Zabou had the Olive Oil thing going on, and if that's your thing, you might like her as much as seeing a young Tawny Kitean wearing nothing but a leather g-string.

For instance, exhibit A (above). It starts raining heavily. So what do our heroines do? Well, of course, take their tops off.

So as you can see, they can move more easily in the rain without tops. I wish more women would do this when it rains.

And in this scene, they were topless as well, with Beth tied up and Gwendoline attempting to rescue her in the futuristic underground city of Yik Yak, run by a crazy, evil woman.

So, if you like 80s camp, and if you like bare breasts (of which there were plenty, not just Kitean's and Zabou's), you might actually enjoy this romp. I have a huge porn collection so cheesy soft-core doesn't do it for me.

Still, Kitean is a very attractive woman and it does have good sets for the budget. The sound really detracted though. If only they spent more money on the sound.
