The Wild Zone

Alles begann mit einem Witz: Die Brüder Will und Jeff und ihr Freund Tom wetteten, wer als erstes die geheimnisvolle junge Frau verführen würde, die alleine an der Bar saß und, wie Jeff scherzte, 'auf Prinz Charming wartet'. Was wussten sie schon über ihre täglichen Qualen, den Missbrauch durch den Ehemann, der sie mit Argusaugen überwachte? Und jetzt steht eine andere Wette an: Wer erschlägt den Drachen und rettet die holde Maid? Eine tödliche Mission.
