Overview
Brothel-owner Chikita Hausmann is forced to flee a South American revolution and sets up a new “house of pleasure” in a sleepy Swiss town, where the local bigwigs queue up so enthusiastically that she placates scandalized wives by dubbing it the “Circle for Expanding Cultural Relations” and wins the naive estate-manager Philip Sprüngli’s heart. When a nearby jazz club run by local youths threatens to expose her clientele, Chikita cleverly sells her establishment to the municipality—transforming it into a youth center—then whisks Sprüngli off on another adventure to a revolution-torn South America.
