The scene is a pre-French Revolution Bastille, where various political prisoners are being held: a woman who was raped and impregnated by the king, a police chief who was accused of selling bad pork, and the Marquis, who was unjustly accused of working for the overthrow of the king. The Marquis is only interested in writing his deviant stories, while his penis yearns for a little action (they argue about this frequently), the prime candidate being the jailer who likes to be buggered. The corrupt priest arranges to have the pregnant woman raped by the Marquis so they can claim the king had nothing to do with it. The priest also steals the Marquis’ manuscripts and publishes them for his own profit. Things come to a head as the people rise up against the tyranny.

Many thanks, Jon for this odd film that has found its home in your cave where even strange titles like this one can be viewed. Worth watching
Thanks, also was looking for this for a long time.
Does anyone know if there is a high resolution version of this incredible movie? I wish to see it please:) Thanks for any help.
I’m afraid not, Hans, can only find DVD copies online and doesn’t seem to be streaming on any service either :/ Maybe one day!
Hi, I’m new around here and am in love with your site already!
Do you have, per chance, a copy of this rare gem, that you could share once more so that I might get to see the wonders?
Thanks in advance and a million thank yous for this site!
What an interesting experience. I’d have never seen this if I didn’t find it here.
