Plot synopsis:
Three crates arrive to the harem. Inside are tied up, gagged, chastity belt-wearing, unconscious, kidnapped, western women. The first woman is the sole heir of a "chain store king of the United States". The second is a large-breasted film actress, whom the western press dubbed "the new Scandinavian love goddess". The third is an Asian-European equestrian champion.
Meanwhile, Sheikh Sharif lies in bed as his personal sex slave, the buxom Asian Katsina, lovingly rubs her breasts against him. Sharif confirms his promise to let her accompany him on his travels, after dealing with the following day's visitor. The visitor is an American oil businessman, who is accompanied by an American army commander.
Ilsa promises luxury to the new women, but they oppose their white slavery. Ilsa tells them they have no choice. Ilsa, who herself has no lover, declines having a western man kidnapped for her next time. Unlike the original film, the current Ilsa states she is repulsed by the notion of a man who would sleep with her just because he must.
Ilsa prepares them by forcing them to perform cunnilingus and erotic massage on one of her lesbian bodyguards. To satisfy demands, Ilsa has an existing sex slave force-fed, and then inspects two - by now consensually - fattened sex slaves. Silicone is used to enhance only the buttocks of another.
A public auction is held to sell existing sex slaves, including one muscled African man. One sheikh has his purchase's teeth extracted. A belly dancer is then caught spying and Ilsa has her tortured for information. Ilsa uses a fiendish torture device to crush the belly dancer's large bare breasts. The victim only knows that the American commander sought inside information.
The Americans arrive. The businessman is offered a woman, but refuses, stating that he is happily married. In return, he finds in his bedroom a young boy sex slave, who claims refusal would mean severe punishment for the boy.
Ilsa immediately has an eye for the commander and dresses up. Crowding together on a couch near her bedroom, her lesbian bodyguard duo perform a make out session, but he is uninterested. She insults his manhood and he reacts by groping her. She sends him away, but he shoves her into bed. She is angered at first but eventually chooses to sleep with him.
Ilsa devises penetration-triggered, exploding diaphragms. She uses a mechanical dildo machine to demonstrate it on the spy, thus finally killing her. Sharif has one put in Katsina while she is unconscious, and then prepares her to visit a rival sheikh. Sharif is then about to sleep with the American heiress, but a vengeful local subject accidentally snipes her to death. The American commander sees the sniper burned to death without a trial, earning his disapproval.
Finally deciding to expose the commander, Sharif finds him in bed with Ilsa. Sharif has her tied up, standing topless, while a leper first gropes her large breasts, then performs cunnilingus on her; soon he mounts her and reaches a full climax while all the others watch in horror. Once she "learns her lesson," Ilsa initiates a rebellion. She quickly heads for the commander's prison cell, kills both his guard and the tarantula that has almost entered his face-cage, and frees him. Ilsa reveals that Sharif's young nephew, Prince Salim, is locked up to prevent him inheriting the sheikhdom. Ilsa's bodyguard duo free the two remaining new sex slaves and give them guns to assist in Ilsa's rebellion. Sharif's guards kill said bodyguards, but Ilsa gets Sharif under gun point. The commander then frees Prince Salim.
Sharif is chained and gagged, and Ilsa tells his loving Katsina that Sharif's final wish before his execution is sleeping with her. Removing Katsina's chastity belt, Ilsa mentions this will also win Katsina her freedom. Knowing about her diaphragm-bomb, Sharif twists beneath his gag, but Katsina mounts and rapes him. Sharif tries to withhold himself, but behind a window Ilsa encourages Katsina to push herself harder and harder on top of him, until the bomb is activated. The commander arrives too late to prevent their deaths. Ilsa argues it was a fitting punishment, but he reminds her Katsina was innocent, and dumps Ilsa in resentment.
Nevertheless, he reminds the prince that Ilsa did save his life, when she pledges her allegiance to him. Unimpressed, the prince sentences Ilsa to slow starvation. He frees the commander, who tells a cursing Ilsa that it is not his fault.

Review: HAREM KEEPER OF THE OIL SHEIKS, is a relatively decent follow-up to the classic SHE WOLF OF THE SS.
Ilsa trains the girls to be good little sluts, and the expected sleaze begins...Not as powerful as the aforementioned SHE WOLF, HAREM KEEPER has a "lighter" tone and was obviously an attempt to cash-in on the probably unexpected success of SHE WOLF.
Director Don Edmonds manages to pack copious amounts depravity, sex & violence into this flick, with Dyanne Thorne camping it up as the evil Ilsa.
Now everyone has come across DVD commentary tracks which are along the lines of 'Yeah I remember that, yeah that was fun etc', but this one actually makes the film even more enjoyable.
It makes one realise that many of our 'respected' actors would look just as bad as the cast of this movie if they were only allowed one take because the film makers only had a limited amount of film stock!.
Dyanne Thorne is at her campy (and sultry) finest in this second installment of the Ilsa series, delivering juicy dialogue with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
As Harem Keeper begins, we find Ilsa at the head of a white slave ring where her primary duty is to train innocent young girls for service in the lecherous El Sharif's harem.
Yes, Ilsa is your classic man-hater, but the frigid ice goddess soon melts in the arms of the studly American diplomat, who's actually a spy intent on overthrowing the sheik's corrupt government.
Marvel as Ilsa succumbs to her own lustful desires and falls under the spell of some good ol' fashioned "manpower!"  Think of it as an adult comic book come to life, full of hardcore gore (at least by 70s standards) and softcore sex, and enjoy it for what is is - trashy exploitation at its best..
The only difference is, that "Harem Keeper" features much more sex´n violence than you may find in popcorn movies à la "Indiana Jones" and friends..!
If not, prepare for a bundled load of sleazy erotic, some bizarre torture and lots of comic-like brutality!
Dyanne Thorne returns as buxom bitch Ilsa, in 'Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiksthe second in the infamous exploitation series that began with the sleazy and repugnant She Wolf of the SS.
Where the first film made viewers feel decidedly uneasy due to the controversial 'Nazi concentration camp' setting, Harem Keeper manages a lighter tone due to its comic book premise and tongue-in-cheek execution, yet it still contains enough violence and nudity to keep fans of the first film happy.This time round the busty blonde sadist is to be found running a harem for evil oil sheik El Sharif, ably assisted by her two topless ball-breakers, Satin and Velvet.
The buxom bitch has resorted to kidnapping beautiful women to ensure a steady supply of hot babes for the sheik; it seems that he has a nasty habit of getting carried away during sex and 'damaging' his ladies.
Ilsa must train the newest additions to his harem, teaching them how to be subservient and willing to please; any resistance is punished with torture.Meanwhile, two guests have arrived at the sheiks home; Commander Adam Scott and his associate Kaiser are hoping to convince El Sharif to give up some of his oil which lies untapped beneath the desert.
Little do they know that the sheik has already rumbled their plan and isn't going to make life easy for them.Ilsa, however, takes a shine to hunky Commander Adam and indulges in much rumpy-pumpy with him; when the sheik orders her to have Adam killed, she disobeys and leads a revolt against the despicable tyrant.There is a real sense of fun to this installment of the Ilsa franchise; director Don Edmonds injects huge doses of camp into the proceedings making this film less of a 'guilty' pleasure than the first.
Of course, a strong stomach and hardened sensibilities are still beneficial for those who choose to watchthere is still plenty of cheesy gore and inventive torture in evidence to qualify the film as a genuine shocker: a man has his testicles pulled off by Satin and Velvet, a thief has his hand cut off, two women have explosive vaginal implants inserted into them (which are triggered during sex), flesh eating ants eat a woman's foot, and an enemy of the sheik is doused in oil and set on fire.It may be a different style of movie to the first one, but Ilsa Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheils is a more than worthy sequel and well worth checking out..
Thin comic book story line, dodgy dialogue delivered questionably, gratuitous nudity, sex, and violence.
At the least I think every action movie ever made could be improved by the inclusion of Satin and Velvet, Ilsa's bodyguards..
Ilsa(Dyanne Thorne)and her two lesbian guards-Satin and Velvet run a harem for depraved sheik(Victor Alexander)Of course women are tortured and abused in front of the audience!This film is much more campier than "Ilsa-She Wolf of the SS" and not nearly as shocking.Still there are some torture scenes and a good amount of sleaze and nudity to satisfy exploitation freaks!Check it out!.
I like all the ILSA movies and I consider this one to be a real good one.
The best one though is the first one, ILSA SHE WOLF OF THE SS, which is an absolute classic.
The fourth one is the weakest in my opinion and doesnt include DYANNE THORNE in the cast which for me makes the movies enjoyable to watch when she is in them..
The best of the three principal ILSA films, this one's got Dyanne Thorne, Haji Cat and the impossibly pulchritudinous Uschi Digart -- scenes such as the fight with the guards, the various audiences with El Sharif, and the tortures of Haji are just beyond belief!
From these ILSA films to Point of Terror and even her return with House of Forbidden Secrets...
This film was a sleazy drive in movie classic from beginning to end, but it had a good story and some terrific acting from Dyanne as well as Howard Maurer.
No spoilers here, but if you like trashy fun movies that push the envelope of good taste, you will LOVE this movie..
Ilsa returns for more sleazy fun.
As everyone no doubt knows, this is the follow up to the notorious movie Ilsa She-Wolf of the SS.
That flick was a real controversial one, seeing as it was mixing a Nazi concentration camp premise with an extremely exploitative story-line.
In Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks Dyanne Thorne returns as the super-bitch Ilsa.
In this one she runs a harem for a sleazy sheik.
Of course, this involves much elaborate torture and copious amounts of nudity.If anything, this one is more 'upmarket' than the first film.
Both of whom are always a welcome presence in any movie.Despite all of the atrocities, the Ilsa series is basically cartoonish.
For my money this one is neither as good as the original, nor Ilsa the Tigress of Siberia.
This follow-up to ILSA, SHE WOLF OF THE SS is another grisly sexploitation movie that mixes depraved violence and torture with endless softcore sex sequences.
The film retains the same star and director as the first, although thankfully the unpleasant sequences have been toned down making this a lot tamer.
I still found it deeply unpleasant in terms of the violence meted out towards the female cast members.The story sees Ilsa relocated to the Middle East (or North Africa, it never makes it clear), where she runs the harem of a rich oil sheik.
Inevitably she's a sadist at heart, dishing out all manner of depraved and sadistic torture to anybody who dares cross her; the 'highlight' involves one girl being gradually destroyed by various unpleasant methods including flesh-eating ants and an exploding dildo.Much of the running time is padded out with big breasted women either being stripped or taking part in simulated sex, while some crashingly dull sub-plots involve spies and an attempt to liberate the oppressed.
The cartoonish Ilsa (Dyanne Thorne) is the keeper of the Sheik's (Jerry Delony) harem, and trains the beauties kidnapped from around the world.
She is just what you would expect in the role of a Nazi she-bitch.The Americans are sending a Henry Kissinger type (Richard Kennedy) along with a naval officer (Max Thayer) to try and overthrow the Sheik and get his oil.
Ilsa and her henchwomen, Satin (Tanya Boyd) and Velvet (Marilyn Joi) are ruthless in their methods and devise extreme methods of torture to get what they want.Despite what Ilsa tells the Sheik, it is apparent that she is becoming close to the naval officer.
Dianne Thorne returns as the (not so) desirable Ilsa, this time making the wealthy Arabian world to her playground.
Ilsa is in control of Sheik El Sharif's harem and she arranges the kidnappings of new sex-slaves.
Satin and Velvet look like identical twins performing lesbian action, while their uniforms simply exist out of pink thongs!
A mixture of torture soft porn, schlock horror and political intrigue.The pneumatic Ilsa who takes out her bazookas for just a few scenes now works for an Arab Sheik's harem cum human trafficking prison camp.She helps train the kidnapped girls, and gets them patched up after they are tortured.
You have an auction scene where girls are sold off.The American government send a naval officer get rid of the Sheik.
You have the straight laced officer trying to teach the Sheikh of such things as democracy, human rights, fair trials, innocent until proven guilty.This was filmed in 1975, long before the 'War on Terror!'Ilsa falls for the naval officer and for her troubles, the Sheikh gets a leper to ravish her.Dyanne Thorne has a hoot of a time playing the amoral Ilsa in a Nazi uniform aided and abetted by her two well oiled black henchwomen who truly can turn a man into a eunuch.It really is curious, not enough horror, laughable torture scenes, too tame and cheesy to be sexy.It might had raised eyebrows almost 40 years ago for shock value.
These days when you have American women getting kidnapped in Europe to be turned into Human Centipedes then you can see how much these kind of films have advanced since then..
It's the first "Ilsa" movie I ever watched, and it's gonna be the last.
1/10 Not only this "movie" is a lot bad but many actor/actress too.Dyanne Thorne (Ilsa) play like a "brush".
I see her in other "movie" and she "play" "better".Max Thayer (Comander Adam, US Navy) is the best bad actor I see until now I think.
But if you watch (I don't suggest that) it and not take it serious you can laugh.Tanya Boyd (Satin) and Marilyn Joi (Velvet) play bad too even if they have good body.
"Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks" isn't as great as the original, but it's still entertaining.**SPOILERS**Working in the Middle-East, Ilsa, (Dyanne Thorne) works as the keeper for El Sharif, (Jerry Delony) a powerful oil sheik that controls a vast harem.
When US Navy Commander Adam Scott, (Max Thayer) arrives at the camp to help negotiate a treaty for the oil, she takes an immediate personal interest in him and tries to do her best to keep him while also attending to her duties inside his harem.
Finally growing restless with his stubbornness and refusal to allow her to keep him around, she decides to stage a coup with the girls and him to take over the palace and exact their revenge.The News: This wasn't that bad, but it's certainly good enough at times.
There's the usual inspection of all the slaves sequence here, where they spend the time going over every inch of their body and giving clear looks at everything on display to their training sequences for the harem, which include sexual favors, performances and more, all done with emphasis on the sleaze and nudity presented in the situation.
These work from the film's several sex scenes or massages that occur throughout.
There's also the wonderfully cruel forms of torture dished out along the way, including the rebel who gets set on fire in a spectacular scene that's the best moment in the film by a large majority, a thief has their hand amputated in full view of everyone at a party and an incredibly squirm-inducing one with rats-in-a-cage.
There's a couple other great parts to this, mainly the really fun action scenes at the end.
This one gets a little more thrilling and exciting than the previous one, which is a great feat in that it gets one over on the original, and the huge body count is a lot of fun.
It's a lot more toned down in the sleaze, with the violence being quite removed from where it was, there's a lot less amount of nudity than before despite it feeling like there's a lot, and the sleaze amounts are much lower, leaving very little in the way of the original.
The conversations about what to do with the harem girls didn't need to be done so often, as often-times it was just for a couple quick lines with no progression made in the time, and it sort of makes the middle drag a little bit.
Give it a shot if you liked the first one, are interested in the genre or have a deep appreciation for these kinds of films, but if you weren't a fan of the first heed caution.Rated R: Full Nudity, Graphic Violence, some mild sex scenes and some Language.
Ilsa gets sleazy in the desert.
*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*I can't say enough good things about Ilsa, (Dyanne Thorne).
"My name....is ILSA!" I want her to be my harem keeper.
The Ilsa from the first movie was in Nazi Germany and was killed at the end of the flick.
The new Ilsa runs a harem for a depraved "Oil Sheik".Ilsa runs the harem efficiently, telling girls the right way to lick a body, disciplining traitors with flesh eating ants and presiding over topless kung fu fighting sessions.
Ilsa also comes up with a plastic explosive that you place in a girl's private area that will detonate when having sex.
The sleaze was working overtime."Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks" promises nasty sleaze and does not disappoint.
It's a great exploitation movie.
The exploitation worlds female Black Adder is back.This time its modern day and she looks as good today as she did in WW2.
This time she is working for an oil sheik (well some white guy with a tan, who is rumoured to be Spalding Gray).
Her jobs seem to involve kidnap, rape, torture and making girls fat.Not as in bad taste as She Wolf of the SS but more enjoyable and faster moving.
Such as Ilsa turning good and the very fake looking air plane interior.Still it is brilliant and very enjoyable.
In this sequel to "Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS" we find that the lead character named "Ilsa" (Dyanne Thorne) has somehow miraculously escaped certain death and is now employed as the madam of a harem belonging to an oil sheik by the name of "El Sharif" (Jerry Delony).
Besides being cruel and sadistic El Sharif also has a voracious appetite for new women and because of that Ilsa has gone out of her way to satisfy his lust by kidnapping 3 prominent young women from abroad.
In any case, while this certainly wasn't a great movie by any means I still found it to be somewhat entertaining and I rate it as slightly above average..
Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks starts somewhere in a Middle Eastern desert as a special delivery of three crates are made to the Palace of Sheik El Sharif (Jerry Delony as Victor Alexander) where he likes to use & abuse various pretty young women before selling them to other rich oil Sheik's in slave auctions, the sadistic Ilsa (Dyanne Thorne) in her own unique way makes sure they obey his every wish without question & are fully trained to please their new owners aided by her two lesbian assistants Satin (Tanya Boyd) & Velvet (Marilyn Joi).
Meanwhile the Sheik is expecting visitors, two Americans named Kaiser (Richard Kennedy as Wolfgang Roehm) & Commander Adam Scott (Max Thayer as Michael Thayer) who intend to blackmail the Sheik into making him give up his land which is rich in oil.
However their plans don't go as they had hoped...This Canadian American co-production was produced & directed by Don Edmonds & in my opinion is pretty worthless, surely this is the worst of the Ilsa films which lets face it are hardly brilliant anyway.
There is no attempt at any sort of characterisation, all the women in this film are one dimensional, are given no background, personality or feelings & are simply there to be used, abused, treated like dirt & are nothing more than objects to please men.
The sleaze & violence has little impact because of the overall tone & feel of the film, there is plenty of female nudity & (very) softcore sex scenes, there are a few lame torture sequences too like pouring flesh eating ants (?!) over someones foot, a thief has his hand chopped off, an exploding stomach & in the films most brutal scene someone is set on fire.
There is a few minutes of unexciting action towards the end when the prisoners fight back but like the rest of the film director Edmonds fails to create any sort of pace or tension.
I was surprised at just how well made Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks is, the costumes, locations, sets, cinematography & general production values are much better than I would have expected.
In my opinion the worst & tamest of the Ilsa films that barely qualifies as exploitation, even Jess Franco's Ilsa, The Wicked Warden (1977) is better than this.
