I think it would have helped a lot had I been familiar with the Jane comic from "The Mirror".

From Wikipedia: According to Christopher Lee, "only the technicians, working with a grim sense of purpose, were pros in the proper sense. Everybody other function, from direction to walk on parts, was up for grabs." He called the film "a truly grisly free for all" and a "Z feature". He says the cast were forced to watch the film being previewed and he found the experience extremely embarrassing.''

Jonathan (Christopher Lee) draws comic strip and Penny (Peggy Evans) is his model. I read in another review that the strip is based on a real life strip about a character named Jane....but I know nothing first hand about this and the paper, "The Daily Mirror", where it appeared.

It turns out that the comic strip is somehow connected to a murder. It seems that the dead man was a Nazi hunter and perhaps these wanted men are responsible for the death. Penny is keen to help the police with the case.

So, is it as dreadful as Lee said? Well, it isn't great and some of the acting (Lee's included) is a bit dodgy. I found it hard to keep paying attention, so obviously the plot could have been better.
