The Bloodstained Lawn

==Plot==

==Plot==

[[Emilia-Romagna]], Italy, early 1970s. A [[UNESCO]] agent ([[Nino Castelnuovo]]) discovers that blood is contained in a bottle of wine produced by a well-known Italian winery. Meanwhile, Alfiero ([[Claudio Biava]]) picks up several people discarded by society — a prostitute, a gypsy girl, a drunkard, and two [[hippie]] hitchhikers — and delivers them to the mansion of Dr. Antonio Genovese ({{ill|Enzo Tarascio|it|Enzo Tarascio}}) and his wife ([[Marina Malfatti]]). The guests note the presence of a strange mechanical robot. One by one the guests disappear. Finally the hitchhikers make it to the mansion's basement, where they witness the robot draining the prostitute of her blood. Genovese's wife is revealed as the mastermind: Genovese, at his wife's insistence, has created a robot to suck the blood from the bodies of "worthless" humans; they package the blood in wine bottles and export it for profit to "wherever there are wars, or injured people."
