But he is concerned about the frustrated simp she has made of their son, Jonathan (ROBERT MORSE), now 25, so returns in his angelic state to try saving the lad before it’s too late. He arrives at a small tropical island as the Madame lands at the controls of a private transport plane from which she emerges with Jonathan and baggage which includes her Venus flytrap plants, her piranha fish, and a coffin containing Dad’s body, stuffed. She takes over at the hotel like the commander of an army of occupation, and one of the laws she lays down is that her son must be confined to his room at all times. Jonathan’s only link with the world outside is a telescope, with which he promptly picks out a beautiful girl, Rosalie (BARBARA HARRIS), being chased round the decks of a luxurious yacht by its owner, Commodore Roseabove (HUGH GRIFFITH), whom she foils by diving overboard and swimming ashore. Madame contrives to meet this mariner, and while she’s away Dad manipulates for Rosalie, the hotel baby-sitter, to dangle outside Jonathan’s window while practicing her yogi. But Jonathan is terrified and makes her leave. Imperceptibly egged on by Dad, Jonathan next day changes his telescope into a periscope to peek at Rosalie, sunbathing. His mother spots him in the act, through binoculars from the Commodore's yacht, confronts the girl and accuses her of deliberately trying to attract her son. So Rosalie, also encouraged by Dad, retaliates hy photographing herself in seductive poses and festooning the pictures in front of Jonathan’s window. Arrogantly confident of the virginity she has nurtured in her son, the mother has Rosalie sent to his room to try seducing him. He freezes, and his triumphant mother sends the temptress packing. That night he falls off his balcony, practically into Rosalie’s arms. He is terrified, but blurts out his love. His mother appears, lashes out at her, and he flees back to his room. The next evening, after a dazzling party in the grand promenade, Madame Rosepettle has a private showing of her home movies for the Commodore. These pictures tell of her youth and disillusionment in love and explain her abhorrence of men and sex. The graphic details leave the Commodore aghast though completely in her thrall. Jonathan, who has been eavesdropping, is appalled at the revelations of his mother’s history and in revolt destroys all her toys. Rosalie, hearing the crash of the fish bow! and the thrashing of the plants, comes to see what is wrong. She stays to seduce Jonathan. She is about to overcome his deep-seated reluctance when his father’s corpse falls out of the closet on top of them. Undismayed, Rosalie continues her seduction. Completely overcome with violent emotions, Jonathan strangles her. When Madame returns from the Commodore’s yacht, where she has succeeded in marrying the gentleman, she discovers the dead Rosalie. Jonathan runs from her. A wild chase ensues. The Commodore enters, sees Rosalie on the floor, and demands a divorce. Madame forces him to join her in a search for Jonathan, who has jumped into a motorboat. She follows him on water skis till he cuts the rope. Jonathan’s hoat spins around and he too falls into the water. The Commodore dies of a heart attack as the Madame dives to the rescue of the son she never let learn to swim. The next day Madame, dressed in mourning black, and with Jonathan beside her, prepares to leave the island. As she careens madly across the airstrip in the jeep, there are now two coffins, one for “Dad” and one for the two latest additions to the Rosepettle family. They manage to get their entourage into the plane and off the ground. As mother and son wing off for Bora Bora, Madame beams proudly at her still untainted little hoy, and the angel who fathered him climbs defeatedly hack on his cloud.
