Nan Peterson (Hideous Sun Demon) stars as Nina Duprez, a woman who is totally evil.
As the story opens we see Nina fleeing a house while shots are being fired at her. She is found by people in a small fishing village and taken to the home of newlyweds Pierre and Lili Guillot (Robert Richards and Betty Lynn) where she immediately tries to sexually seduce Pierre.
Pierre wats her out of the house as son as possible, but nobody, including his wife will believe that Nina, using the name Minette Lanier, is evil. Finally she moves in with Pierre's brother, Jacques (Peter Coe). Jacques refuses to listen to Pierre's warnings as he is still very upset with his brother marrying Lili, whom he also loved.
There is a lot of tension and turmoil between the two brothers as Nina/Minette fuels the fire.
Pierre finally goes after the truth when the town doctor, J. B. Opie (Tyler McVey) brings him a newspaper article about the real Minette Lanier. Slowly Nina's plans start to unravel.
This is a great piece of swamp trash entertainment and director Lee Sholem handles it very well. I have seen Nan Peterson is a few things, and this is her second most memorable role besides the "Hideous Sun Demon" in which she played a sexy floozy as well. Her career only lasted for 6 years, but once you see her you never forget her. The last I knew she was still alive and well in her early 80's.
The casting of Betty Lynn for the role of Lili is perfect as well. Lynn, as most of you know played Barney Fife's girlfriend Thelma Lou on "The Andy Griffith Show". If you like off the wall films, I suggest you check this one out.
