Mark Miller stars as an American reporter named Larry Brand who is assigned to do a story on Swedish nightlife. His editor pays for him to go to that country and get a good story.
When he arrives he finds a lot of beautiful women and hangs out with them to get his story. However one night he almost has a car accident and meets a man named Max (Lars Ekborg) and a woman with him named Mona Mace (Anita Thallaug).
Brand notices that Mona is a very beautiful woman, but there seems to be something wrong between her and Max. Brand accompanies them to where Mona works, which is a small strip club in the middle of Stockholm.
He also discovers that Max is keeping Mona under his thumb by turning her into a drug addict. Brand makes a plan to get Mona away from Max, but this is not very easy to do.
This is an interesting film on many levels, but the two you'll notice most are the actors and the locations. There are not too many Swedish film noir and that alone makes this a must for noir fans.
The born in Norway Thallaug is quite a looker in my opinion, and that doesn't hurt the film at all. Check it out.
