A girl (Sydne Rome) stumbles into an Italian villa barely clothed and near collapse. Like Playboy's Little Annie Fanny, whom she resembles, the girl is promptly set upon by the entire household, which includes psychotics, perverts, lechers, gnomes, dikes and an assortment of servants who make it their business not to notice anything...
