After having robbed a bank, 3 crooks - intellectual Aldo (Ray Lovelock), rapist Nino (Stefano Cedrati) and I-don't-know Walter (Flavio Andreini) - take refuge in a remote house on the seaside, where nun Christina (Florinda Bolkan) and her five theatre students (Sherry Buchanan, Laura Tanziani, Annaluisa Pesce, Laura Trotter, Karina Verlier) have taken up residence. Immediately, our crooks kill the girls' maid (Isabel Pisano) to get some respect, then Nino tries to rape Elisa (Sherry Buchanan), but she stabs him into the leg and almost castrates him. Not a good start for their co-habitation, but soon enough, Sister Christina and the crooks come to an understanding: the girls will all stay alive as long as the Sister treats Nino's wound.

This kind of arrangement goes reasonable well, even if our gang of crooks have to kill the postman after Sister Christina tried to slip him an SOS-note ... and occasionally too, one of the girls is raped.

Eventually, Elisa decides to try and make a swim to safety and to get help ... but she is stopped at the last minute by Aldo, who then leaves her to Nino and Walter ... who rape her with a sharp stick, which ultimately kills her. Now our nun forgets all her turn-the-other-cheek and Samaritan rules of conduct and she poisons Nino while claiming to treat him. Then she shoots Walter with Nino's gun.

Aldo now finds himself outnumbered, but he still tries to persuade the girls into letting him leave with the money, since killing was actually never his thing. But of all the girls, it is actually Matilde (Annaluisa Pesce) with whom he had a tender romance going, who shoots him in the stomach, then the other girls gang up on him and club him to death.

 

This film might sound more interesting than it is ... somehow it tries to be exploitative to the hilt and restrained at the same time - and you don't need to be a genius to figure out that that can't work. So on one hand the plot of the film is focussed on sleaze as such, but on the other hand, there is never any real pay-off, thus the film falls short of audience expectations and remains incredibly dull.
