Stephen Orlac ( Ferrer ) is a renowned classical pianist who badly injures his hands in a plane accident and has to have replacements taken from a guillotined strangler George Vasseur. After a cat is found dead at the villa owned by his prospective father-in-law, Orlac comes to believe he is not in control of his hands and abandons his fiance for a crummy hotel in Mareilles. There he falls prey to a seedy magician Necron ( Lee ) who practices extortion scams with his sexy assistant Li Lang.
Dany Carel ( as Li Lang )
Sex : Li sets out to seduce Orlac. Her stage act includes dancing in a skimpy two piece outfit. She is briefly seen topless over Necron's shoulder.
Death : Murdered onstage by Necron who blocks up her escape route from the box then impales her. The fact that she doesn't scream for help on finding herself entombed is a major logical flaw.
Dany was originally Yvonne de Chaxel born in vIetnam to a French expat and his ASian mistress. She had a 40 year career interrupted by a skirmish with breast cancer in 1980. She retired in the mid-nineties and lives quietly near Paris. She is now 84.
Lucile St-Simon ( as Lisa Orlac )
Sex : Some clothed foreplay with Orlac
Death : Survives
Lucile was another French actress of similar age but by contrast her career was very brief. She retired in the mid-sixties for married life with actor George Riviere which is still ongoing. She too is now 84.
