The Synopsis
La cintura delle Amazzoni (presumed a lost film but actually in perfect health, preserved by the Narodní filmový archív), promises fun, elegance and erotic innuendos. The story concerns a circus of attractions that comes to town. The owner of the local country club is keen on aquiring the circus owner's fine white mares - however to make that happen he must court Cleopatra, his daughter - when he is actually in love with the beautiful niece instead. All the while, a group of no-nonsense/no-men Amazons arrive in town promissing to beat the local athletes to a sports' match on the arena.
