Based on a legendary Spanish serial killer from the 19th century. Juan Aldije, The Frenchman and a friend, run an underground whorehouse and gambling den, when they see some costumer carrying small fortunes with them, they kill them (smashing their skulls with a steel bar or by axe) and bury their bodies in the orchard.
This extremely rare Paul Naschy vehicle is actually one of his very best films – one that not only features perhaps his most commanding performance but showcases an infrequent seriousness of intent as writer-director. It is a serial-killer thriller which treats a real-life case from the early 1900s, about which it seems that even ballads were written (heard over the opening and closing credits).
