Vixen (Erica Gavin) lives in the mountain wilderness of British Columbia with her husband Tom Palmer (Garth Pillsbury). Tom works as a bush pilot and wilderness guide, which keeps him away from home often, so the sexually voracious Vixen satisfies her urges by having flings with just about anyone she can get her hands on. This includes a Mountie, a married couple flown in by Tom, and even ''her own brother'', but pointedly does not include Niles (Harrison Page), a black biker who's a favorite punching bag of the hideously racist Vixen.

->''"Five years ago it might have been necessary to devise all sorts of defenses for Russ Meyer's 'Vixen,' finding hidden symbolism and all that. But I see no reason why we can't be honest: 'Vixen' is the best film to date in that uniquely American genre, the skin-flick."''
