In the Eye of the Snake plot
Marc Anzer (Jason Cairns) is a young snake expert who works at a museum in Geneva. He likes snakes, many of which he owns. He even takes a bath with his giant pet Python. He falls in love with the beautiful young woman Malika (Sydney Penny), who is both the assistant and mistress of an elderly professor Baldwin (Malcolm McDowell) of herpetology. Marc discovers that not only is he not a professor at all, but that he is also a dangerous psychotic who once seduced Marc's mother. Marc is convinced that the longer Malika stays with him, the more she is in danger.
