SWV's description from Ebay:
In ersatz London, Mrs. Wilkins, a rich dame in a fur coat, is strangled on a stairwell by a big, lumbering brute. Her daughter, Jane, informs Inspector Harvey of Scotland Yard that he mother's emerald was a phony and the she has the original. Naturally, Jane is immediately abducted by hooded goons and taken to some underground catacombs, (Germans love underground catacombs), where she gets a bloody whipping from a cult known as "The Holy Order of Righteousness" until she reveals the names of four others who own emeralds cut from the same stone.
The Order, (who chant like monks and worship Khali), sends the strangler to retrieve the other jewels, but there's someone else hiding in the cult's creepy catacombs, and he wants the emeralds for himself: "Now do you think you'll get to heaven fast enough, you stupid idiots? Brothers of the Holy Order of Righteousness? Criminal vermin!" (There's also a surprise ending with a sneaky secretary...)
Not part of either Rialto or CCC's Wallace series, the biggest surprise here is that the executive producer is Erwin C. Dietrich, who made his fame spewing out softcore romps like SIX SWEDES AT THE PUMP, as well as producing Jess Franco's more notorious epics (JACK THE RIPPER, BARBED WIRE DOLLS, etc) which probably explains why a chunk of the plot revolves around a strip club.Ben
