AbstractHistoryArchive Description
The film traces the story of Jules, a petty criminal who takes the fall for a mob boss and is sentenced to five years' imprisonment. On his release, his former bosses reward his loyalty by putting him in charge of the 'Hobby Farm' - a rundown estate acting as a holiday camp for the mob, including gambling dens and a bevy of prostitutes abducted from Eastern Europe. As Jules becomes attached to the women, he has somewhat of a moral crisis and decides to help them escape.
