After 15 years of detective work, Rudolph Grey and Alexander W. Kogan Jr., Edward D. Wood Jr. enthusiasts, found the film in a warehouse in Los Angeles.
Movie was filmed over two or three days with a budget of no more than $7,000 and the only copies went missing soon after it was made
Madame Heles was to have been played by longtime Edward D. Wood Jr. collaborator Maila Nurmi (aka Maila Nurmi), who took one look at the script and withdrew herself from the production citing concerns of "professional suicide".
The film was an early entry to the new subgenre of hardcore pornographic film. The pioneers of the subgenre were films such as "Mona the Virgin Nymph" (1970) by Howard Ziehm and "Sex USA" (1970) by Gerard Damiano. The subgenre went on to enter the mainstream with Deep Throat (1972). The idea of graphic sex as an integral part of an adult-oriented narrative was further explored in "Last Tango in Paris" (1972) by Bernardo Bertolucci, "Sodom and Gomorrah: The Last Seven Days" (1974) by Artie Mitchell, and The "Opening of Misty Beethoven" (1976) by Radley Metzger.
In Nightmare of Ecstasy: The Life and Art of Edward D. Wood, Jr. (p. 135), Maila Nurmi, who played Vampira on TV and in "Plan 9 from Outer Space" (1959), tells how she declined Wood's request for her to do a nude scene sitting up in a coffin in the role of Madame Heles.
