embrace, first playfully, then passionately. Finally, entwined fiercely together, they are carried slowly down the stream. As Adam watches, he remembers his wild affair with a French girl, when he was in the Army. Through his mind’s eye, we see the two swimming, then making love by the side of a river. As Adam and Seth grow to be friends, Seth’s passion for Eve grows and grows. One day Adam is working near the stream. He sees the girl, whose name is Jezebel, swimming naked. She laughs wantonly and beckons him to come in. After considering a moment, he dives in. They splash each other and frolic in the water. Eve, who has been walking in the field, comes upon them. She watches in horror, then stumbles blindly away. Seth, who has been working nearby, sees all this. He rushes to comfort Eve, then fumblingly tries to make love to her. She fends him off, then returns to the house. Meanwhile, Adam is having a twinge of conscience. He backs off from Jezebel and returns home. After a stormy scene, the young couple become reconciled and are happy again. The next afternoon, Adam goes to town for supplies. Eve idly wanders about the house, then decides to take a swim. dives in. She is polite and they swim about together, Seth playing with her, trying to arouse her passion. He can see she is excited.

He throws her to the ground and begins ripping off her bathing suit. She screams. Adam, arriving back at the farm, notices that Eve’s bathing suit is gone and starts for the stream. The husky Seth, almost insane now, is savagely raping the moaning gh-l. Seeing Adam coming, he flees. Adam, coming upon them, stands shock still for a moment, then with a bellow of rage snatches up an axe and chases Seth, finally cornering him. The two men grapple and Seth tries to escape. But with murderous fury, Adam brings the axe down on his head and kills him. Adam sinks to the ground, horrified, staring dazed, first at the dead man and then at his wife huddled in the grass, as dusk slowly falls about them. Running Time: 73 Minutes
