It was on the way to this meeting that Soledad had her car crash and died.
This is the first of four films which were released postumusley, between 1971 and 1974.
The film opens with a man in a radiation suit doing excovation work in a cave. He finds a stone, which he places in a lead lined case. Upon leaving the cave he is shot, but he manages to make his escape to a waiting car, where he is helped inside and driven to the home of his employer Prof. Forrester.
The man tells Forrester that he has found the stone, that they are looking for. Hearing the news, he tells the man that he will go and get a doctor to see him. As he leaves he tells and assistant of his to keep an eye on the injured man, while he goes and gets help from Doctor Thorrsen.
While he is gone, someone enters the injured mans room and opens the lead lined case, where upon the stone within emits and bright glow, which causes the man great pain.
Professor Forrester arrives at Doctor Thorrsen's, were he is greeted by the doctor's wife. He tells her that it is urgent that the doctor comes to his home, she tells him that he will be there as soon as he has finished with his patient.
He returns to his home, to find that his assistant has gone missing, the injured man has been killed and the stone has been stolen.
As he drives away from his home, the assassin that shot at the man, now takes aim at the Professor.
Later on Doctor Thorrsen and his wife are helping the police with their enquiries, because the professor's car has been found wrecked and there is a trail of blood leading into the jungle. A man arrives by the name of Irving Lambert, he is the British Consul for the area. The British Government are concerned for the well being of Professor Forrester.
Meanwhile in London at the Institute of Tropical Research, in Professor Forrester's office, someone is breaking in. After searching for a while, they find his safe, but unknown to them, there is already someone in the room, (who looks a bit like Alfred Hitchcock in profile), who knifes them in the back.
The next day the police are investigating the murder and break-in at the Professor's office. While there the investigating officer receives a telephone call from a woman in a telephone box.
Later on he visits a brothel called Chez Jackie, were he asks for a Miss Jane. The Madame goes to see if she is free, leaving the man in the hands of Tinkybell, one of the girls. Lucky for the man, Jane is able to see him stright away.
He enters the room and is greeted by Miss Jane, who is representing MI6. The investigator is not happy having to meet her in a brothel, incase his wife, Lady Philip, finds out. Jane revels that the man killed in Forrester's office, was one of their agents. Jane hears a noise and tells Sir Philip to join her in the bed.
It appears that the stone that killed one of Professor Forrester's assistant emits a strange form of radiation.
Sir Philip goes and visits and old friend of his, who is also an old friend of Professor Forrester. He asks him to send in an unoffical way someone to Akasava to investigate what has been going on.
At Heathrow airport Jane hears an announcement for a Mr. Forrester to report to the bar for a telephone call. She follows the man who responds to the announcement. The announcement that the flight to Mombassa is now borading, prompts Jane and Mr. Forrester to board the flight.
In Mombassa a man (its Jess Franco!) is waiting for Mr. Forrester. When Mr. Forrester makes himself known to the man, he introduces himself as Tino Celli, a friend of his Uncles, the Professor.
Mr. Forrester notices that Jane is having trouble hiring a car and offers her a lift, which she refuses, saying that she would rather get a taxi. After a while of not being successful in geting a taxi either, Forrester offers her a lift, which this time she excepts and introduces herself as Jane Morgan. While this ha all been goin on, they have been observed by two men, one in the airport and the other in a car parked outside.
Latter on they take a boat.
They arrive at the hotel and check in. They discover that their rooms are next door, which pleases Forrester. Upon entering her room she discovers that the British Counsul, Irving Lambert is waiting for her.
Jane takes a shower while being debriefed by Lambert. Her cover is that of an exotic dancer at the Red Rose Night Club.
She gives a dance in a black string dress.
While being watched by Forrester and Tino. When she finishs her dance, she goes over to them only for Dr. Thorrsen's wife Ingrid to intervine and invite Forrester to have a dance with her, which he accepts, anoying Jane, so when Tino askes if she would like a drink, she looks at him like he has stood in something and walks off.
At the hotel, Lambert is lying on a bed reading a copy of Time Magazine dated 22nd June 1970, when he hears a noise coming from outside the door. He gets up and takes a pistol from its holder, lying flat against the wall, he watches as the door slowly opens. In walks a bald headed man, in a black suit, one of the men who watched Forrester and Jane arrive at the airport.
As he enters the room, Lambert strikes out at him, (why did he not shoot him?), they start to fight around the room, with the bald man getting the upper hand. With Lambert caught in a head lock, he starts to break his neck, when a gun is placed to the back of his head and he is shot dead by Jane.
In the room next door, Forrester enters with Ingrid.
Jane deceides how to get rid of the body, they will take it out down the stairs, via the back way, however as they go pass Tino's room he notices them.
Meanwhile in Forrester's room, he and Ingrid are getting very close, when Ingrid happens to look out of the window and shes the body being carried by Jane and Lambert.
When they make it to the bottom of the stairs, Lambert tells Jane to stay with the body, while he goes and gets a car.
Waiting with the body, Jane notices a policman on patrol is coming their way, so she makes out that the body is her boyfriend, who is drunk.
The car arrives and Jane puts the body in the back and the car drives off. Just then Lamberts comes from the carpark and tells Jane that his car has been stolen. Jane and Lambert are shocked when they realise that the body has been taken by someone they do not know.
It turns out that it is Tino, that has taken the body, to be disposed of in the jungle.
The next day Forrester and Ingrid go to her husbands clinic. He asks her if she knows why he is there.
She replies that it is because he is trying to find his uncle the professor. She invites him up to the clinic, where she shows him into a room full of people, heavily taned and completley comotose.
She then shows him into their private appartments, where her husband is freshing up. They talk about Professor Forrester, what he was researching and the fact that he had found a rare stone, that could change any metal into gold.
Meanwhile at the hotel, Jane has just had a shower, when she can hear voices coming from the room next door. She goes outside and listens, when she is caught by Tino. He has been talking to Lambert about how it was he who had got rid of the body the night before. Lambert introduces Tino to Jane as being Major Celli of the Italian Sectret Service. Tino is suspicious of Doctor Thorrsen.
At Doctor Thorrsen's, Ingrid continues her seduction of Forrester in the garden, when he is shot. She takes him back inside and her husband is able to extract the bullet, but it now means that his leg is broken. Dr. Thorrsen suggests that he is given a sedative for the pain.
Once Forrester is unconscious, Ingrid asks if Forrester's leg is really that bad. Torrsen says it is not, but if they are to transport the stone to London, then wraped in plaster around Forrester leg, would be the best way to transport it.
That night Jane is back at the Red Rose Club dancing.
Into the club come Dr Thorrsen and Ingrid. They have been invited by Jane, who seems to know them of old, however Dr. Thorrsen seems to worry about this and at the first opportunity leaves, leaving his wife with Jane.
Lambert and Tino are making their way over to Dr. Thorrsen's. Tino tells Lambert to wait, while he tries to get in.
He makes it in. While looking around the door to the vault opens. Drawing his gun he enters the vault, only for the door to close on him, locking him in. Trying to open the door, someone activates the stone, bathing him in its light.
Outside Lambert hears a shot. He turns and runs away, only to be shot in the arm. He makes it back to the car and drives off.
Back at the hotel, Jane has got ready for bed, when she hears the sound of someone approaching her room. It is the wounded Lambert. She helps him into a chair, he tells her what he and Tino have been up to, when someone shots him in the back. Seeing that he is dead, she jumps up, crosses over to the door and swings it open with her gun pointing in front off her.
To be confronted by Forrester. He knocks the gun to one side, telling her to be sensible. He sees that Lambert is dead and takes her into his room. In his room he confronts her, by telling her that he is going to London at 8 am. They both admit that they are attracted too each other. Jane is worried about what she will do with Lambert body, but Forrester says that he has good friends who will deal with it. Jane askes if that includes the Ingrid. He tells her that it does not, because she going to London with him. This anoys Jane, who goes to slap him, but he stops her by giving her a kiss.
In London, Forrester and Ingrid arrive at Doctor Henry's clinic. At the clinic Forrester has the cast removed from his leg by Dr. Henry, however a patient given the number 77 has escaped and can not be found .
A heavily taned man is wondering the streets of London in a dazed condition.
Forrester arrives back at a hotel, to be confronted by Jane, holding a gun.
She demands to know who he is, because Professor Forrester did not have a nephew. In trying to prove his innocence, he distracts her long enough to wrestles her too the ground.
He then demands to know who she is. She tells him she will never tell him, which makes him realise that she is working for MI6, so he reveals that he works for Scotland Yard. They agree to work together.
Later on that day, Forrester, Jane and Sir Philip have a meeting on how they can get their enemies to show their hand. They decide that if they put out the story that Professor Forrester's nephew was left some important research notes, that should intice them. Sir Philip leaves, leaving Forrester and Jane on their own to make love.
At Doctor Henry's Ingrid surprises him, only to be surprised by the appearence of her husband. Who wants to know why she is not with Forrester and if she does not find him, he will reveal that he found her in a brothel in Monbassa. She leaves and he tells Dr. Henry that there has been a change of plan and he telephones the person he is dealing with, to tell them he wants twice the amount of money.
Sir Philip goes and sees Lord Kingsley to give him an update.
Meanwhile in London, patient 77 is still wondering the streets.
At the hotel, Forrester finds a women in his room, who is Chinese and called Sue. She tells him his life is in danger and if he goes to the Chinese resturant in Down Street, she will reveal all.
Later that day he goes to the Chinese resturant. He is shown to a table, where he is joined by Sue. She tells him that she has been asked to make him an offer. It is that they will offer him $500,000 for his uncle's information and the location of where to find the stones. If he agrees, then he has to go to Wong's at 29 Lincoln Street.
Unknown to either party they are being listened to by Lord Kingsley and his helper Humphrey. Kingsley instructs Humphrey to take care of it.
Forrester arrives and Wongs and goes up stairs, where he finds his contact sitting at the table, bolt upright, with a bullet wound to his head. Sue then enters and says they have to get out of there, just as a knife is thrown into her abdomen. Forrester rushes over to a screen, pulling it back the assassin, punches him on the jaw and flees up a fire escape. Forrester pursues him and using the cane is walking with, trips him up. They have a fight, but the assassin is too strong for him and escapes.
At Doctor Henry's, Doctor Thorrsen arrives with the case containing the stone. Doctor Henry makes a call to a booking agent for two tickets to Hong Kong, when the door bursts open to revel Humphrey holding a pistol. He shoots Doctor Henry and then Doctor Thorrsen.
In a garden, patient 77 is walking towards a house.
Lord Kingsley is sitting at his desk, unknowing that patient 77 is walking towards his house. The french doors open and patient 77 enters the study. He approaches Lord Kingsley, puts his hands around his neck, begins to throttle him, when he gives a violent jerk and falls to the floor. It is revealed that he has been speared in the back by Lady Kingsley. She asks her husband who the assailant is. He reveals that it is Doctor Forrester, who had found out that he wanted the stone so that he could gain absolute power.
Humphrey arrives at hotel room 801, he enters,drawing his pistol, he makes his way to the bedroom, where Jane is sleeping on her front naked, beside her in the bed is the figure of a man. Humphrey goes over to the bed and shoots the figure in the head. Pulling back the covers, he discovers that it is a dummy and Jane shoots him. He managers to get out of the way, but Forrester is waiting and hits him, but he managers to escape out of the hotel into his car, with Jane and Forrester following him in theirs.
At Lord Kingsley's, Ingrid Thorrsen is telling how she discovered the bodies of the husband and Doctor Henry.
Meanwhile Jane and Forrester are pursuing Humphrey, when he pulls up outside Lord Kingsley's and enters the grounds.
Lord and Lady Kingsley are saying goodbye to Ingrid, when Humphrey enters. Scared, Ingrid goes to leave, when Lady Kingsley produces the spear, holding it to her neck. Lord Kingsley gets out of his wheelchair, revealing that there is nothing wrong with his legs. He goes over to Ingrid and knocks her out.
In the grounds, Forrester and Jane approach the house. Looking though the french windows, they see Humphrey and Lady Kingsley carring the Ingrid. They deceide to enter the house, but by the front door. They ring the bell and ask to see Lord Kingsley, his wife lets them in. They meet Lord Kingsley and seem to think they have made a mistake, seeing that he is in a wheelchair. The make the appoligies and go to leave. As they are leaving, Forrester notices a drop of blood on the floor, this has come from Humphrey who was injured when Jane shot at him, who is standing at the top of the stairs watching what is going on, after tying Ingrid up in an upstairs room. And then he sees a second drop add to it. This alams Lord Kingsley, who leaps out of his wheelchair, just as Ingrid falls over upstairs, prompting Humphrey to run down the stairs. Forrester pulls out his gun and shoots, while Jane hits Lady Kingsley.
Lord Kingsley hearing all this makes a break though the french windows, but Forrester sees this and shoots him. Seeing the cause is lost, Humphrey jumps out of a window, carrying the case containing the stone, while Ingrid cries out for help.
Humphrey makes his escape through the garden, into a nearby field, where there is an airplane waiting, which he boards and flies, but unknown to him the catches on the case are not secure and the motion of the flight is making the lid wobble. Coming undone it exposes Humphrey to the stone, making him crash the plane.
As Forrester returns to his hotel room he is greated by a young blond woman wearing a towel, she says that he is very good with women and has knowledge about a certain stone, as she drops her towel.
The DVD that I watched was the Oracle release. This is Jess, once again trying to do his version of a spy film, which works quite well, I would say that it is on a parr with THE GIRL FROM RIO, if not slightly better, with not too many stupid moments. It is such a shame that this was to be the last film that Soledad Miranda was to make before her untimely death a month later.
On the DVD there are not many extras, only a trailer and a web link, which does not work anymore. Not surprising seeing that the DVD was released in 2003.
The DVD can be bought from Amazon.co.uk, by clicking on the link below.
