From case cover:
FUEGO means fire and Isabel Sarli is burning up! Argentina's greatest cinema sex symbol stars as Laura, a nymphomaniac who may very well be sexually insane. Despite the constant attention of her husband (Armando Bo), Laura just can't be satisfied: "I need men! I need men!". Through she makes it with almost every man in sight, what really pushes her hubby over the edge is Laura's affair with Andrea, her lizard-like lesbian housekeeper....
"Miss Argentina 1955", Sarli was discovered by actor/director/real-life lover Armando Bo - often called the Russ Meyer of Argentina - with whom she made twenty-seven features, FUEGO being their wildest collaboration. With its overwrought histrionics and a bombastic title tune that blares every time Sarli's motor starts running, Fuego is a Kitsch Klassic from beginning to end. Decked out in high hair and thick mascara, Sarli is hilariously berserk as the "possessed" Laura, especially when she struts through town, naked but for go-go boots and a mink coat, exposing her breasts to startled onlookers while striking seductive poses, then scurrying away to flash someone else! Quick, call the Fire Department!
Choosing between her sheepherder husband or a fugitive horse thief sends Isabel Sarli straight to a whorehouse in THE FEMALE, an Argentina cross between Erskine Caldwell and a spaghetti western. It's also subtitled Seventy Times Seven which, of course, is the precise mathematical definition of Miss Sarli.
