Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion (1972)
Synopsis
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.
