Synopsis by Robert Firsching

Howard Vernon stars as private detective Al Pereira in this sexually-explicit thriller directed by Jesus Franco, here using the pseudonym "Clifford Brown". Another variation on themes introduced in Cartas Boca Arriba (1966), this sleazier Pereira vehicle has the detective tracing his nemesis Radeck after finding a prostitute with a slashed throat and a warning scrawled on the wall in her blood. Betrayal, blackmail, and graphic sex -- including lesbianism -- ensue. Not one of Franco's better efforts, Les Ebranlees co-stars Anne Libert, Luis Barboo, Doris Thomas, and Montserrat Prous.
