She soon learns that her boyfriend in Albania has been arrested for killing her cruel father. Though at first desperate to return home to help, Helen soon forgets her boyfriend's plight as she is seduced into a wicked life of vice and perversion by the wealthy family with whom she is staying.

Helen does eventually return home to Albania, but only to discover there, her own erotic destiny.
