Storyline
| Plot Summary |
After being cruelly set up and deceived by Sugimi (Natsuyagi Isao), a conniving and crooked detective she had whole-heartedly fallen in love with (and subsequently lost her virginity to...), Matsushima Nami's desire for revenge knows no bounds. Her failed attempt at stabbing Sugimi on the steps of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Headquarters results in her doing hard time in a female prison run by sadistic and horny male guards. To Sugimi's surprise, Matsushima refuses to testify against him and his connections to the mob, and now the sheer fact that she knows such secrets makes her a liability. So Sugimi and the Japanese mafia orchestrate a plan whereby Matsushima will succumb to an "accidental" death in prison. They enlist the help of Kagiri, another female inmate with ties to both Sugimi and the mafia, thus their formidable plan is quickly set in motion. Little do they realize, however, how hotly Matsushima's desire for revenge burns within her. Written by inferno |

| Trivia | Japanese director Sion Sono references this series in many of his movies: Lady Scorpion from Love Exposure (2008), art-house horror elements in Exte: Hair Extensions (2007): hair extensions and revenge sexual torture in Guilty of Romance (2011). See more » |
| Goofs | Quite a few of the strikes in torture, attack and fight sequences obviously didn't actually make contact with the victim. One of the worst is when an inmate causes "blood" to gush from a guard's head when the shovel blade she swung at him missed by at least 6 inches. See more » |
