Zaza (Janine Hendy) is a minor antagonist in the 1961 Italian comedy film "I Tre Nemici".
Zaza is an enemy spy under the employment of Professor Otto Kreutz (Martin Benson). The enemy spies, captained by Dr. Otto Kreutz, try in every way to steal from him the secret that he wears without knowing it.
A scientist develops the formula of a new, powerful explosive, but his maid, who is actually a spy, kills him and steals the formula. The spy then pretends to be a tattoo artist, and transcribes the formula, in the form of a tattoo, on the butt of Leo Bottini (Gino Bramieri), an employee who works in a tourist agency.
After Professor Kreutz and his Nurse (Elisabetta Velinska) fail in their attempt to photograph Leo's butt, he has to develop another way of obtaining the formula. Professor Kreutz and his associates settle on calling in Sonia, the Blonde (Margaret Lee), but her seduction at Leo's travel agency fails. Next, Jacqueline (Helene Chanel) calls him on the phone and has him sit for a portrait painting in her studio. However, she fails to strangle him, and the portrait is ruined by getting wet in a fountain.
Next up Leo caught a show at a nightclub, that included the exotic dancer Zaza. While the dance took place on stage, he was pushed glasses of wine by Amalia (Mara Berni). When the dance ended, Amalia winked at Zaza, and the two exchanged places.
Zaza then led Leo back to her dressing room and began seducing him. This too failed, and she soon got up and locked him inside and tried to get help. Leo was able to break down the door and escape before Zaza returned with the henchmen. This is the last we saw of Zaza.
