A married woman leaves her husband and zooms off on her motorcycle to see her lover. 

Artsy and pretentious exploitation movie seems to have been mainly made to show Marianne Faithfull in leather and various stages of undress, plus some psychedelic sequences as a reference to the zeitgeist; nicely photographed, though.

Halliwell (no star): "An incredibly plotless and ill-conceived piece sub-porn claptrap, existing only as a long series of colour supplement photographs."

Maltin**: "Cardiff also photographed this oddity: a mod, psychedelic, existential tale..."
