starring: Anthony Steffen · Ajita Wilson · Cristina Lai

After
the 1930 economic crisis in South America, the Union Mine Company takes
over the operation of a mine in the center of a tropic jungle. Due to
labor shortage, the company asks the local government to supply them with
prisoners from the female penitentiary. Life is extreme for these women
and many die from disease and the laborious work, but most don't survive
the cruel torture inflicted upon them by the sadistic warden.
Director
Edoardo Mulargia (this time under his Tony Moore alias) worked with Anthony
Steffen (Antonio De Teffe) on numerous Spaghetti Westerns and the controversial
TROPIC
OF CANCER. Many of his later films were shot in South America
although he was generally considered a Italian grindhouse director. This
was one of his last projects as Mr Mulargia died from heart failure in
September 2005. He was 79 years old.
Ajita
Wilson was rumored to be a transsexual actress - born George Wilson -
who underwent sex reassignment surgery in the mid '70s. This has never
been proven. In fact in was denied by both Jess Franco (who worked with
Ajita on SADOMANIA)
and Joe D'Amato. Ms Wilson died in May of 1987 from cerebral hemorrhage
after an automobile accident. She was 37 years old.
