Film Synopsis
Nancy, an attractive young American, is hitch-hiking her way down the Italian
coastline when she is attacked by a stranger. Narrowly avoiding being
raped, she takes refuge in a grand villa belonging to the ageing English
millionaire Joseph Noblart, who is presently hosting one of his lavish parties.
His guests make a colourful crowd, which includes Alex, Noblart's eccentric
nephew, a man obsessed with sexual perversions of all kinds. Nancy
is welcomed as a guest and invited to stay. Graciously she accepts,
not knowing that Alex will take advantage of her presence to spy on her through
a peep hole in her bedroom wall. The day after her arrival in this
shrine to hedonistic excess, the American begins to fall prey to a succession
of bizarre fantasies...
