[plot outline]
Udo Kier is a witch hunter apprentice to Herbert Lom. He believes strongly in his
mentor and the ways of the church but loses faith when he catches Lom strangling
Reggie Nalder to death for calling him impotent. Kier begins to see for himself
that the witch trials are nothing but a scam of the church to rob people of their
land, money, and other personal belongings of value and seduce beautiful big breasted
women. In the end, the towns people revolt, Herbert Lom escapes and poor Udo is
tortured to death by the towns people with the his own torture devices. This film
contains very strong graphic torture including a women's tongue being ripped out of
her head, nuns being raped (in the opening credits), and lots of beatings.
