Gerry O'Hara directs this morality tale on the dangers of promiscuous sex and 'loose women of easy virtue'. In the hip and rebellious early 1960s, Austrian girl-about-town Eva (Margaret Rose Keil) arrives in a quiet English village and quickly sets about seducing the male population. As her conquests mount, relationships tumble, and it's not long before sexually transmitted diseases are doing the rounds, resulting in much soul-searching and general angst amongst all concerned.
