Virginal Vanessa (Olivia Pascal) has been brought up in a convent school, but now she has inherited a fortune and travels to Hong Kong in order to receive it - only to find out her inheritance consists mostly of brothels, both for men and women, and a plantation, which its foreman Adrian (Günter Clemens) claims to be rightfully his, and a fight in court ensues ... but that's all besides the point, the film actually focusses on Hong Kong that seems to make everyone involved incredibly horny (especially the foreigners, there are only very few Chinese to be seen in the film), and so it seems that everybody shags around - and Jackie (Uschi Zech), the young daughter of Vanessa's lawyer, introduces Vanessa to all sorts of local debauchery, has lesbian sex with her and helps her find the right man to pop her cherry - not entirely successfully though, because ultimately, Vanessa lands in the hands of Major Cooper (Anton Diffring), a pervert and sadist, who chains her up, strips her and whips her until she is saved by of all people Adrian.

In the end, Vanessa and Adrian have become a sort-of couple, and quite possibly he has deflowered her (it's not shown but hinted at), and even though Vanessa wins the plantation in court, he promises to stay on as foreman ...

 

A very obvious attempt of the German film company Lisa Film to cash in on the then very popular Emmanuelle-series, and actually the similarities of Vanessa and especially the first Emmanuelle are striking: Here as there a young (rather) innocent woman comes to an exoctic, Far East location tht is presented travelogue style during much of the movie and that seems to be populated almost entirely by foreigners who all seem permanently horny, and here like there, the young woman is dragged deeper and deeper into the local debauchery, and after being a bit shocked at first, she starts to like it.

... and just like Emmanuelle, Vanessa is not a good film, not even a good sex film, rather a tired and insiginificant attempt at then fashionable high gloss sexploitation. Olivia Pascal is pretty hot in this one though.
