Matsu, known to the prisoners as Scorpion, is locked away in the bowels of the prison as revenge for disrupting the smooth operation of the prison and for her disfiguring attack on the warden. Granted a one day reprieve due to the visit of a dignitary, she takes advantage and attacks the warden again. This leads to more brutal punishment and humiliation. But the punishment gives her an opportunity to escape along with six other female prisoners.
The stunningly beautiful Meiko Kaji (Lady Snowblood 1 & 2) plays the lead role in this deadly series of prison escape films, Jailhouse 41 being the second one (out of 4). It's a grim and bloody road to freedom and everyone who gets in Scorpion's way is about to feel the pain.
A superb series and a Japanese cult classic, Female Convict (a.k.a. Female Prisoner) should be on everyone's 'to-watch list'.
