The Story of the Dolls
A young village teacher Lee Sentai saves in the Philippines the photographer Tom, who got on his yacht in a typhoon, and then goes with his invitation to Manila, where she became (with his help of course) the well-known fashion model, the star of many erotic magazines. This softporn film features the body of Tetchie Agbayani (who gained recognition after a German Playboy layout) in various erotic and sexual acts, strung together by a thin story about her leaving the Philippine countryside to model in the big city and then finding out she really belongs back home again.
