Film Synopsis
Unhappy in love and having nothing but contempt for her spineless parents,
Catherine makes up her mind to become a prostitute. She confides
her distress to a priest before joining a powerful organisation
run by Pornotroops which takes under its wing all manner of unfortunates who
are resigned to their fate. Pornotroops and his brother
are a ruthless pair who will stop at nothing to ensure they have
supremacy of the market, punishing without mercy anyone who defies
their will...
