The revolutionary freedom front decides to set up a brothel in the South
American jungle to keep its fighters happy. But since noone would work
there voluntarily, several girls are abducted, brought there &
treated like inmates of a woman's prison, with them kept in cells, armed
guards & a sadistic warden (Nanda Van Bergen) - but since this is a
Franco-film, at least they are kept in their cells scantily clad to
naked, the armed guards are topless girls & the warden's a lesbian.
But then the revolutionary leader Gino da Guerra (Val Davis) falls in
love with one of the girls, Angela (Ada Tauler) - who was actually
kidnapped at her wedding night -, who refuses him at first but soon
falls in love with him too. & Gino arranges it for her to not be
treated as an ordinary prostitute at the prison/brothel but stay with the
warden while the soldiers have their fun with the other inmates ... Trouble is, our lesbian warden has also fallen for Angela & has sex
with her herself. When Gino hears about this, he has the warden kneel
down in front of Angela & beg for forgiveness - which only
infuriates the warden of course, & she soon unmasks Angela as a
contrarevolutionary spy, & subjects her to some torture. But then
Alberto, Angela's husband, manages to sneak into the woman's prison too,
& he has made up a plan for her escape, that involves Angela & 2 of her fellow
convicts having sex with the warden (really). The plan does
work out, but when the 3 girls (with Angela topless for some reason)
arrive at their meeting point with Alberto, he is already captured by
Gino. Gino though shows some heart as he decides to set Alberto free
& let Angela go with him (he sends the other 2 girls back to the
prison of course), but then, in a surprise twist, Angela decides to
instead stay with Gino ... The End.
On a narrative level, this movie makes even less sense than most of the others Jess Franco
did for Erwin C.Dietrich, all too obviously everything that happens just
does so to show some sex & sadism - which Franco does with a genuine
obsession. This all of course makes Frauen im Liebeslager
mindless but good-natured fun.
