Doris asked her cameraman C. Davis Smith for a plot idea. Smith had seen Suddenly (Lewis Allen, ) with Frank Sinatra, and told Doris the plot of that film. From this, Doris created an ultra low-budget film. Two assassins claiming to be plumbers hold two lesbian roommates and their visiting friend hostage, while they wait to assassinate the prime minister of ‘Netia’ from the apartment window. This means we have time for showers, lesbian lovemaking, strip-teases, whilst women are whipped, beaten, raped and even killed. Then there is the dream sequence, which involves characters in drag that is something which must be seen. (2
