Fifteen years ago, Nami Matsushima witnessed the kidnapping of her younger sister, later murdered. Now a physician, she recognizes one of the two criminals in the emergency room, but when she confronts him, he snidely points out that the statute of limitations has run out. She reacts by stabbing him dead, which is about as scorpion-like as this pretty but martially unskilled heroine manages to get. This leads to a ten year sentence and a standard women-in-prison exploitation story, complete with cat-fightin' gangs, a lusty lesbo warden, an escape attempt (Nami wants to go after the other kidnapper), and a fair amount of nudity throughout. A subplot involves an inmate on death row who holds information about a politician's involvement in a murder. Without dropping a spoiler, it can be said that this leads to Nami performing a medical miracle which makes no sense at all. Still, with all the female flesh on display, this isn't a complete waste of 90 minutes.
