Gioia is a buxom centerfold working for Pussycat magazine. In such a profession, having an admirer or two is expected, but Gioia's admirer is a vicious killer! He murders her fellow magazine models one at a time, using a variety of twisted implements of death. Gioia is the lucky recipient of a collection of photos, each with murdered bodies arranged around posters of her.

A mysterious killer goes on a rampage of models in Gioia's villa, owner and editor of a men-only magazine. At first, the suspicions fall on Flora, a woman owner of a competing magazine, but, as often happens, the culprit is never the main suspect... Another giallo-horror that unsuccessfully tries to recall the unmistakable Argento style, failing miserably. Apart from some decent murders (like the one perpetrated by means of an enraged swarm of bees against the poor Sabrina Salerno) and the decent performances of the "mythical" George Eastman (real name Luigi Montefiore) and Daria Nicolodi, Lamberto Bava's film is rather disappointing. Absolutely forgettable is the acting inability of the protagonist Serena Grandi, hired probably only for "physical" merits (by the way, these are also quite questionable). Quite frequently broadcasted on private television channels, but the advice is to let it go.
