Description: Unaware of the torture that takes place in the dungeons, Judge Jeffries condemns women as witches and rebels as traitors on a regular basis. A sister of one of the condemned prisoner approaches the judge for clemency but is rejected when she doesn’t give in to the lust of the judge. She joins the gang of the rebels to bring the judge to justice.
The infamous Jess Franco, whose output at the time of writing totaled close to 200 movies, evidently still had aspirations as a serious filmmaker when he made this period drama to cash in on the success of Witch Finder General, but he wasn’t beyond inserting frequent episodes of soft-porn – of which he apparently neglected to inform his star, Christopher Lee until after shooting was complete. The result is a curious mash-up of history lesson and sleaze that fails to satisfy on either level.
