The prostitute Sachiko Hanai works for an Imekura , a sex role play club. While waiting for a colleague in a bar, she witnessed a secret meeting at which a copy of the finger of US President George W. Bush was to be exchanged. One of the two business partners shoots the other because of a misunderstanding. In the ensuing chaos, the finger ends up in Sachiko's handbag and the criminal shoots her in the head too. She survived the shot and began to develop an unimagined intelligence. At the same time, however, there are also considerable disturbances in perception and memory.
She first begins an affair with a professor, but after his death she and her assassin go on a search for the key to absolute power. In a cave they find a control unit for all American ICBMs , which they finally start with the help of a finger, thus triggering nuclear destruction.

reception
On the occasion of its US theatrical release, The New York Times wrote that the film was "a jumble of softcore political satire, hardcore narrative nonsense, lively sexism, junky images and dime-like surrealism." Although the film was originally soft porn appeared, it developed into something "more ambitious, somehow" .
In Variety one thought: "If outrageous concepts Everything would be, this latest incentive would be [...] awesome in the often eccentric history of Japanese 'Pink film'. But the crazy ideas in Takao Nakano's script only entertain jerkily under Mitsuru Meike's annoying direction. "
