Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks

Between her jobs helping Nazis run their death camps (Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS) and running a South American prison (Ilsa, the Wicked Warden), Ilsa (Dyanne Thorne) found the time to help a demented oil sheik (Victor Alexander) run a white slave business catering to the richest men in the Middle East. When an undercover agent of the American government arrives to shut the slave trade down, Ilsa is forced to make a choice between staying loyal to her master the sheik or following her heart and doing the right thing with the American she’s fallen in love with. The plot is as silly as it sounds, but who cares? You don’t watch an Ilsa movie for the nuance of the story; you watch for the most basic elements of exploitation movies like this: sex and violence. And on that level, it delivers.
