Transgression made in Denmark!

An eccentric count, fond of spying on girls at the beach from his Rolls while attended by two young female servants, is overcome by the excitement of the sights he is seeing and what the black servant is doing to him. His will insists that if one of the women in the town doesn't give birth to a baby within a specified time, the town will be taxed for the first time. Other conditions of the will stipulate that his two servants should make lesbian love together. All this sets up a situation where the young females of the town wish to learn how to attract men. They get lessons in this art from Carola (Lone Helmer), hence the French title. But Carola turns out to be the one who is first to give birth. All a fine excuse for lots of raunchy goings on. Edited in Europe with some strange titles such as "Fatelo con me ... bionde dolci Danesi" (Italy), "In the Sign of the Taurus" (UK), "Les Leçons de Carolla" (French DVD), "Spécialités Danoises" (original title of French release).
