La tarantola dal ventre nero (1971)

[Emiliano]

A homicidal maniac persecutes the charming customers of a beauty center. The Inspector Tellini discovers that the killer, taking as an example what the wasp does to the tarantula, first immobilizes the victims with a pin and then disembowels them still alive and conscious.
