Synopsis: A young infiltrator, Peter (Christien Anholt - left), is despatched by moral crusaders in Parliament to gather evidence for a private prosecution against fetish clubs operating all over Britain,... A young infiltrator, Peter (Christien Anholt - left), is despatched by moral crusaders in Parliament to gather evidence for a private prosecution against fetish clubs operating all over Britain, where many of the saucier activities are illegal. From Peter's background as a virginal employee of the Holy Hardware computer company (motto: Log On To The Lord!), he is thrust into the sex glamour shock of these big fetish clubs and parties. Beautiful girls are there in abundance doing wicked things! The Member of Parliament, Henry Harding (Tom Bell - right), for whom Peter works, is delighted at the incriminatory evidence his protegé soon gathers against the clubs. Peter, however, becomes infatuated with Tanya Cheex (Guinevere Turner - left), a sex goddess from New York and leader of the fetish club scene on both sides of the Atlantic. He wants her to calm down, become "normal", and avoid going to jail. She wants to pervert him. The question is, who will win? There follows a moral dilemma for Peter of whether to give evidence in court against the woman who both attracts and repels him. He wants desperately to have a conventional relationship, which means making love.... She loves him and is happy to play lots of games in bed but will never allow a mere man the pleasure of intercourse with her. Peter's journey as an innocent abroad is presented in an amusing, upbeat and as the adventure turns more bizarre, stylised way. Although some of the events portrayed in these clubs really do happen, this film is far removed from the traditional realism of British cinema. -- © 1997 PTTP Films Ltd. [More]
