Overview

Mad scientist Dr. Goldfoot manufactures a group of beautiful female robots and programs them to seduce wealthy men into signing over their fortunes. Robot Number 11, known as Diane, is sent after millionaire Todd Armstrong but initially targets the wrong man.

ASFR Content

The film is built around a factory-like process for creating highly human-looking female robots. Diane and the other Bikini Machine robots are programmed to charm wealthy targets while concealing their artificial nature. Diane survives impacts and gunfire that would kill a human, suffers visible mechanical damage, and displays abrupt programmed behaviour and voice changes.
