Plot: (from SciFi Japan)
Matsu, 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.
Lesbian content:
In an attempt to get a confession from Matsu (Meiko Kaji), a female police officer goes undercover as Matsu's new cell mate. Things don't go as planned though.. Matsu seduces the police officer, who's a closeted lesbian, and turns her into an obediant love slave! That is a brilliant piece of cinema! :)
