Synopsis by Dan Pavlides
This disturbing story of religious and political confusion in Latin America finds the CIA trying to infiltrate rebels loyal to a puppet government. A local guerilla fighter is tortured by a priest and his cronies who take sadistic pleasure in the torment of their victims. A blonde woman loyal to a shadowy operative is stripped naked, thrown in a cage and crucified by the sinful and sadistic spiritual scum. The guerilla eventually escapes to exact revenge on the enemy.
