action

In the “Pension Apollo”, a big city puff, women wait for their paying customers like every evening. Some of the girls serve their suitors in the back rooms, while the show program begins in the front room. It consists of singing and striptease numbers. Here the "Madame" of the establishment rules with watchful eyes and makes sure that none of the gentlemen who arrive alone remain at his table. Martina is one of the young ladies who should make it easier for wealthy guests to get one or the other banknote. But actually, completely different things are going through her head. Her pimp had made her pregnant and is not thinking of taking care of their child because he, a very egoist, has no desire for a relationship. His world is the other girls he wants to earn a lot of money with.

One day Martina is found murdered in a forest outside the city. The Commissioner is dealing with this case. Believing that the pimp and father of the illegitimate child must be the perpetrator, the investigation initially focuses on this shabby guy, but the police find out that he cannot be the murderer. The unexplained act causes great unrest among the whores of the "Apollo", as each of them fears that she might be the next. After numerous incidents, the inspector gets on the track of the real perpetrator: he is an old, failed artist and husband of a striptease dancer who wants to take revenge for the humiliation he has suffered. Surrounded by state power, he sees only one way out: he leaps from a roof to his death.

Reviews

“Sinful business is flourishing in the cozy booths of a night club. However, the peaceful hustle and bustle of the love donors is not without danger. A spurned lover kills the most beautiful of women. The hunt for the murderer can begin. "

- Hamburger Abendblatt from May 25, 1968

In the lexicon of international films it says: "Sleazy pimps, embittered police officers and lustful petty bourgeoisie in an awkwardly staged sex crime thriller whose visions of nightlife are rather provincial."

"A film that digs deep into trivial clichés - and into the collective subconscious, down to the most hidden corners, as booklet novels like to say."
