Model Eve (Johanna Matz) has come to Rio as a high class model, but
even on her first night she has to realize she is actually employed as a
high class prostitute, and she only just manages to fight off Lanning
(Scott Brady), a drunk American mining engineer.
Naturally, Eve wants out, but now she has to realize she's actually in
the hands of Madame Lansowa (Gisela Fackeldey) and Monsieur Albert (Eduard
Linkers) who run the place, have confiscated her passport and have seen to
it that she owes them much money for her training to be a model and such
...
Even tries to go to the police, but the whole thing backfires, and when
she sees no more way out, she turns to Lanning, the guy she fought off the
very first night by smashing a waterbottle on his head, but who once sober
turns out to be a quite likeable and sympathetic man who promises to help
her ... but then he is called back to his mine, and en route there, he
leaves Eve with his boss Coltos (Raymond Burr), who has a hazienda in the
middle of the jungle. Thing is, once Lanning is off, Eve has to realize
Coltos is not the nice man he was thought to be but he actually owns
Madame Lansowa's brothel, and now wants to send her back.
Eve escapes through the jungle on foot, and wouldn't you know it, she
runs right into Lanning, who didn't know about the crooked dealings of his
boss, but again he promises to take care of her ... but that very night,
she is snatched away from right under his nose when the two are staying at
a hotel, and now Coltos' men are taking her to a riverboat, which is
actually another brothel, not quite as classy as Madame Lansowa's, and
mostly frequented by miners.
Of course, Lanning manages to track Eve down to the riverboat, and he
manages to secure the aide of the riverboat's barman, who's actually an
interpol agent undercover, and in the end, the boat is raided by the
police and all the baddies are brought to justice ... and Eve and Lanning,
who have of course fallen in love in the course of the proceedings, start
a new life together.
A typical German adventure movie of its time, with a pulpy plot that
has this certain torn from the headlines-feel to it and that
combines crime and romance, exotic locations and a certain hint of sleaze
(actually, the film is all buttoned up, all sleazy details are only
alluded to) to an almost irresistible extent. The result, hardly
surprisingly, is not really a good film, and much of it is actually pretty
silly and over simplified, but if you are at all into European pulp
fiction from the 1950's, you will find this one at least amusing
nevertheless.
