It does not take long for him to lust after his seductive aunt who plays a hard-to-get game with him. Then there is also the lusty nymph maid, Alice who is more than willing to explore with Marco the sensual pleasures of the flesh. However, the lustful Marco begins to fall in love with his aunt who gives in to him during one of the sex parties she has in the house. Soon aunt and nephew become passionate lovers.
