Near the end of this black and white roughie, there’s a scene where our heroine Karen (Barbara Wood) is introduced to a private club and must take part in the “ceremony”. She has a black blindfold put over her eyes and forced to kneel amongst a group of women, then gets beaten with a paddle if she refuses to answer their questions. She is stripped down to her bra and skirt and then one of the women takes a red-hot branding iron and burns her on the inner thigh of her left leg. Karen screams in pain and is so incensed that she pulls off her blindfold in protest. There’s an alternate, and much shorter “teaser” version of this scene that begins the film in the opening credits, only lasting about 15 seconds.
