Matsu (Meiko Kaji), known as "Scorpion," lands in prison thanks to the evil manipulations of an ex-boyfriend. Through her suffering at the hands of the jailers and other prisoners, director Shunya Ito creates a portrait of a woman is full of strength, beauty and an honor which outshines her peers and the cage within which she's contained. This first film in the series about the Scorpion remains one of the most famous and beloved Japanese exploitation films of the 1970s. Director Shunya Ito struck a delicate balance between art and trash and created one of the most ambitious, sleazy, and beautiful women in prison films ever made.
"[T]here are a fair number of arty flourishes: expressionistic lighting and make-up effects, theatrically stylised sets and gymnastic camerawork."
