the final phase, he contacts Gerri, whom he considers a catalytic key in organizing a paying group of members.
Shocked, but at the same time intrigued by the idea, Gerri assembles a select group of her partners in pleasure and attends the first meeting at which Kathi is also present. Gerri is unaware of her daughter's presence, however, since everyone in anonymous in cloak and mask.
As the women become more and more involved in the activities of the club, Lisa Francis (MARLA ELLIS), whom Gerri has enlisted, is smitten with deep guilt feelings which almost drive her to the brink of insanity. Peggy Thomas (ELLA DAPHNI), another woman introduced to the club by Gerri, one who already drinks to excess to deaden the pain of her guilt, becomes more sodden. Gerri, however, seems to take the whole thing in her stride.
As the money rolls in, Lou becomes aware of the relationship between Yvette and Kathi and he grows concerned. Confronting his partner, he demands she give up the girl. Reluctantly, she agrees to do so.
Before the next cult meeting, Yvette gives Kathi a tender "brushoff." Deeply hurt at this new turn of events, the girl nevertheless attends the meetings.
During the activities, extremely sensual in nature, Gerri finally becomes aware of her daughter's presence through the scent of an unusual perfume that Lisa Francis had given Kathi. With a hysterical outburst, Gerri clears the room. Alone, the disillusioned woman sobs in the dimly lit clubroom. She hears a slight movement in the background. She calls to Kathi who emerges from the blackness. Mother and daughter face each other with all pretenses torn aside. There in the flickering, eerie half-light, Geraldine Lewis has laid at her feet the spawn of her selfishness, her indifference, and her abandonment of her daughter to her own all-consuming sinful passions.
