Plot

Felistas is cursed. She stinks. No one can stand to stay near her. She lives in seclusion in an abandoned house. One day, a witchdoctor finds a solution to her problems. A cry-baby man can inherit the smell from her. Felistas is hesitant to grab the opportunity, because she does not want another person to go through the same pain she has endured. But she longs to reunite with her husband and child. So she kidnaps a man, Dan, who is a virgin desperate to get married. Dan recently got a job that makes him very rich. This attracts the attention of Kate, a gold-digger who he has wooed for a long time, and that of a corrupt cop, Jomba, who frames him for murder in an extortion scheme. As Felistas races against time to deliver Dan to the witch and win back her husband’s love, it turns into a high-energy chase with a voluptuous Kate and a trigger-happy Jomba hot on her tail.[4][5]
