Secret Service secretary Ann (Yutte Stensgaard) has only come over to
agent James Word's (Robin Hawdon) plkace to learn how his latest mission
went, but after he has bedded her, he tells her the most unbelievably
story about the parallel world Angvia ruled by one Zeta (Dawn Addams)
which is entirely populated by women and which for no particular reason
has become the object of desire of one baddie called Bourdon (James
Robertson Justice), who sends an undercover stripper (Wendy Lingham) to
Angvia to track the place down. Now Word should have intervened (though
it's never quite clear how) but he has been sidetracked by another
Angvisan hottie (Anna Gael), who keeps him occupied (doing you-know-what,
wink wink) until the action is over and a gang of scantily clad Angvisans
have taken out Bourdon and his men. With that whole affair resolved,
there is only one thing to be taken care of: James Word, who knows too
much about Angvia for his own good. Luckily though, secretary Ann is
secretly a Angvisan spy, and she transfers Word to Angvia to become the
resident breeding bull - after all, this is an all female society, they
have to have someone to help them reproduce. Unsurprisingly, Word, who has
spent most of the film between the sheets anyways, does not complain. A
low-budget sex-spoof of the James
Bond-series that is great in some respects but lacking in
others: The pop art Angvisan sets and costumes are simply endearing, as
are several plot-elements like keeping the main character out of the
action by keeping him occupied with a few gorgeous women, and the simple
refusal to take its own story too seriously. On the other hand, the film
could have been improved greatly by tighter storytelling: The movie takes
forever to simply get its story going (instead treats us to some of the
most boring strip poker scenes out there) then loses itself in unnecessary
subplots a few times too often. All that said, Zeta One is still
well worth a look, not as a masterpiece maybe but an incredibly cute piece
of erotic nostalgia ... or nostalgic erotica, whichever you like better.
