Anthon Master (the clown Ole Søltoft) plays the lead role of a record executive who wants to sign a hot singer exclusively to his label, the star Dolores Rossi (a gorgeous Cia Löwgren, in her prime, who, despite participating in this "pornographic" project, merely shows some skin from the waist up), so he tries to seduce her first, to get the upper hand. The problem is that when the competing label learns that Anthon has an identical twin brother named Benny, they kidnap Anthon and replace him with him to stand in for the negotiations (with prior instructions and subterfuge), thus ensuring that they sabotage the real Anthon's relationship with Dolores, preventing her from signing the record contract in favor of the other candidate label, headed by the histrionic Ulrik Ulvenstein, the mastermind of the Machiavellian and stupid plan.
Denmark abolished all film censorship before its Swedish neighbors, opening the floodgates for skin and sin to spread across local cinema screens. While popular comedy actor Ole Søltoft was making his way through a variety of roles in erotic films, producer Anders Sandberg snatched him up to star in what would be called the "Zodiac Series" (only six were filmed, and this Gemini one is the third). Each film was built around a different zodiac sign, each one more erotic and/or pornographic than the last, taking into account that, in keeping with Scandinavian customs and culture, what was considered a "family film" there was, in the US, for example, pornography or "for adults only." What's truly striking about this third installment of the astral collection is the inclusion of a spectacular and sumptuous choreographic musical number, a dance routine whose dancers reveal almost everything, and which seems straight out of a Technicolor Hollywood musical, with opulent and beautifully performed costumes. A truly spectacle, very rare in adult films.
