On their honeymoon, Lord Sutton (Nick Nicholson) takes his wife Eleanor (Irina Kramer) to Manila, to stay at his friend and businesspartner's place - only to learn he has died, but his son Lin (Mark Gosálvez) promises to offer them the same hospitality his father would have ... and it becomes clear from the get-go that he has set his sights on Eleanor. Good thing then that Lord Sutton has to go out on business for days on end (caused by the death of his friend), giving Lin ample opportunity to get friendly with Eleanor - and it doesn't take Lin long to shag her, then he takes her to his "atelier" - and makes her his prostitute, loaning her out to other men. Eleanor is disgusted by this at first, but soon finds pleasure in it, so he goes to the atelier even behind Lin's back to do a bit of whoring - to the dismay of Lin, who has fallen in love with her. The thing about this is though that Lin is actually paid by Lord Sutton to do what he does, and Lord Sutton even watches his wife's exploits in the atelier via hidden camera.

Eventually, Eleanor finds out about everything, which makes her feel disgusted by Lin, but fall in love with her husband all the more. Eventually, Eleanor pays off the debt Lin had with her husband, and upon this, Lord Sutton decides they have relied on Lin's hospitality long enough, and they move on for a cruise in the Chinese sea - and their skipper seems to be cut out to be Eleanor's next lover.

 

House of Pleasure is pretty much a typical latter day Joe D'Amato softsex movie, and one of the many he filmed in the Philippines, too: Gone is the sense of adventure that permeated his sex movies in the 1970's (especially his Black Emanuelle movies), replaced by some mock-Asian philosophy and some made up sex-games that don't make a lot of sense, narratively. All is held together by some weak dialogue and wooden performances - but at least lots of nudity and sex scenes, and leading lady Irina Kramer is at least quite a looker. Certainly not one of D'Amato's better movies, but he has made way worse, too.
