Ring of Scorpio is a 1990 Australian TV miniseries by Alan Bateman, Errol Sullivan and Kim Williams. It was made with assistance from the Film Finance Corporation Australia, BBC Television and the Nine Network. It was shot in Morocco, Spain, Sydney and Broken Hill.
The casting of Americans Jack Scalia (who had recently completed a season-long role in Dallas) and Catherine Oxenberg (then best known for her role as Amanda on Dynasty), and Briton Caroline Goodall was indicative of a trend in Australian miniseries from the early 1990s to cast well-known foreign actors in leading roles to increase the potential appeal to international audiences.




Plot


Three women (Catherine Oxenberg, Caroline Goodall, Linda Cropper) plot revenge against a drug dealer (Jack Scalia) who seduced them before scamming them to participate in his operations, ultimately causing them to spend time in Moroccan prisons, ruining their lives.




Synopsis


A gripping story of secrets within secrets, of disloyalty and deception, of passion, murder and revenge. Helen Simmons cannot believe her eyes. There, on the floor of the Sydney Stock Exchange, is a man she thought was dead. Richard Deveraux, the man who once told her he loved her, the man who betrayed her, the man who nearly destroyed her and her friends. Now, it seems Richard is not only alive and well, he is even more dangerous than ever. When Helen discovers he is planning a multi-million dollar stockmarket scam, she decides it's time to act. With her two former friends, she sets out to avenge all the wrongs and the hurt of the past. But, like the scorpion on the ring that he once gave each girl as a symbol of his love, Richard Deveraux is a venomous and deadly enemy. — Banijay Rights
