Synopsis

Two Antiguan police officers assigned to investigate the escape of a carnival freak are suddenly called away from their duties and instructed to go to the airport and intercept the delivery of some stolen government documents. Foreign agents Raul and Ernesto are to pick up the documents; and when the police move in, the two agents abduct exotic dancer Josette and take her hostage. Raul kills Ernesto in the melee, and Josette, after escaping from Raul, finds herself on the outskirts of the city, clad only in her underwear. She is bathing in a stream when the escaped freak rushes out of the woods and captures her. Raul intervenes and frees Josette but is himself drowned in the stream. Josette flees in an old pickup truck with the freak, who has jumped onto the truck bed, an unwelcome passenger. Turning off the highway, Josette parks at the carnival grounds. The freak finds her hiding in one of the carnival rides and starts up the ride. When the ride is running at full speed, he climbs onto the track and is struck by the speeding car. Police arrive and escort Josette to her nightclub, and there they witness her exotic dancing, backed up by a nude chorus.
