Wanda is a hard-edged hooker who, despite having made a decent living in her trade, cannot overcome her pervasive loneliness. Willie is an illegal immigrant seeking happiness and prosperity in his adopted country, but instead finding only hardship and despair. After the two have an unlikely meeting, they hatch a plan to marry, thus getting Willie his US citizenship and Wanda a companion. Their plan seems to work at first, as the couple at last believe they'll be able to find some contentment; that is until money runs low and both Wanda and Willie are forced back into a life of crime and wanton sex...

"An unexpectedly good film. Really enjoyed Herschel Savage's acting. The audio commentary was also appreciated."
"Part satire, part drama, this film offers a somber look at two people who exploit each other just to get by. The ending is rather abrupt and without real conclusion. Although it feels light on eroticism there are a couple stand-out scenes. Restoration is top notch."
"Loved this drama and the performances were great."
"The restoration on this one is genuinely fantastic — and I mean that in the most literal sense, because Nina Hartley's scene is a revelation. Growing up in the 90s she was just kind of always already middle-aged in everything I'd seen, so seeing her here is a genuine jaw-drop moment. An absolute knockout. That alone makes this worth owning, but VS also delivered a gorgeous spot gloss slipcover and the whole package arrived in perfect condition as always. This one earns its place on the shelf in every way."
"This film represents the best of classic adult cinema: a drama very much about sex and how it fits within logic of contemporary society, rather a straightforward presentation of it. It prompts questions about exploitation that reflect back on itself and its viewers. Thoughtful and unflinching."
"Good adult film with a great cast. All the Vinegar Syndrome and Melusine adult films I have purchased have been either good or great."
"Love the look of the film and some scenes are A+ Highly recommanded!"
"Amazing packaging and transfer!!"
"Solid golden era adult movie and showcase of the talents of the legendary Henri Pachard. Great performances and the restoration of the picture is perfect. Very cool reverse sleeve with VHS style artwork. The highlight of this release is, as always, the commentary, the legendary Casey Scott moderates an excellent commentary on the film with Colleen Brennan."
"Looked fantastic and loved the slip."
