"NOTTE EROTIQUE" is an exciting action drama that shows you the frantic life of the dope peddler as he scrambles for success. In today's France, the selling of narcotics is a highly profitable, and by American standards, a somewhat commercial business. The peddlers themselves in some ways resemble the Whiskey Barons of old Chicago during the days of Prohibition. There are only three major dope syndicates in Paris. Ours is the story of Eric Volfay, (Hans Verner) who controls the major narcotics flow in the Paris area, and Sacha Markriff, (Jean Pierre Kalafon), a one-time Voltay employee who is now frying to set up a business on his own. The vicious struggle for supremacy between these two men is the basis for our story. Kidnappings, murder, brutality1 and prostitution are the offspring. Sacha kidnaps Eric's brother Fred (Marcel Champel) in an effort to discover Eric's source of dope. In a countermove1 Eric kidnaps Nora, Secha's sister .. the two finally agree that an even exchange of prisoners be made. Sacha, however, decides to eliminate the Voltay syndkate totally, and he prepares a trap at the point of exchange. The resulting battle is one of unbelieving fury and realism. In the end, both the Volfay and Markriff organizations are broken, for they succeed only in arranging each other's execution.
