An aristocratic family becomes obsessed with a striking young blond actress (Silvano Venturelli "Camille 2000") while watching her in what appears to be a crude, silent stag film. After a visit to a local carnival they meet the girl in person and invite her back to their lavish mansion (the Castle of Balsorano in Italy's Abruzzi Mountains.) The blonde visitor takes turns seducing the family members, where she unlocks each of their fantasies, family secrets and hidden desires. The Lickerish Quartet is Radley Metzger's magnum opus, a delirious surreal erotic fantasy, stylish and elegant.
