Born in 1946 in France, Alice Arno, originally Marie-France Broquet, became a notable figure in the European sexploitation and horror film genres during the late 1960s and early 1970s. She gained recognition for her performances in films such as The Orgies of Dr. Orloff (1967) and Justine de Sade (1972), where her captivating presence brought a unique allure to the screen.

Queen Arminda falls in love with Maciste, arousing the jealousy of her favorite, Yuka. Yuka plots to make the queen believe Maciste is carrying a venereal disease, but it fails. Out of frustration, Yuka frees Ela and Pindar and helps them steal the treasure, hidden in a werewolf's lair. Maciste intervenes but is unable to save his companions' lives. Embittered, he leaves the Amazon kingdom alone.
