While on a date at a night club "Terry" (Anitra Ford) is kidnapped by revolutionaries after they rob every one of their valuables. The police chase one of the getaway cars which has Terry in it and when the leader of the revolutionaries named "Django" (Sid Haig) realizes he can't outrun them he abandons the car leaving Terry behind. However, rather than being freed Terry is falsely accused of collaborating with the revolutionaries and sent to a prison deep in the Philippine jungle. When she gets there, she finds that the warden is physically abusing the female prisoners and working the women to the point of death on a dangerous sugar mill he calls "the Big Bird Cage". What follows next is the general "Women-in-prison" scenario which typically includes a mixture of nudity, abuse, drama and action. However, this one has quite a bit of humor as well. Unfortunately, the humor seemed to get a bit old after a while and tended to detract from the other elements which define the genre. Likewise, some of the scripts and scenarios were also rather weak and disjointed--which made the entire film seem to lose its focus. Along with that, some of the actresses, particularly Candice Roman (as "Carla"), weren't utilized to their fullest potential either. In essence, what could have been an outstanding addition to this genre turned out to lose its sizzle by the end. Frankly, I found it to be a bit disappointing. That said, I rate this movie as slightly below average.
