Tropical Heat (1993)

In the sultry realm of India, an American wife, played by Maryam d'Abo, unexpectedly inherits a hefty sum of five-million dollars. The source of this sudden affluence is the tragic demise of her maharajah husband, ironically trampled underfoot by an elephant during a daring leopard hunt. However, this bizarre turn of events raises eyebrows at the American insurance company, who can't shake off suspicions of foul play. In their quest for truth, the company dispatches a shrewd insurance investigator, portrayed by Rick Rossovich, to the vibrant, yet enigmatic, heart of India. Amidst the intriguing backdrop of Indian culture and tradition, an unexpected romance sparks between the widow and the investigator, igniting a trail of passionate encounters that pepper the narrative with a touch of soft-core sensuality. Simultaneously, the plot thickens as Asha Siewkumar, playing an Indian woman, suspects a sinister connection between her own father's mysterious disappearance and the alleged murder. Despite her pleas falling on deaf ears at the local police station, she remains undeterred. Consumed by a quest for justice, she shadows the American wife, hoping to unearth evidence of a clandestine conspiracy.
