Plot

Blossom (Pam Grier) and Django (Sid Haig) are thieving mercenaries who engineer a prison break from the outside.

Terry, a social-climbing young woman, accidentally gets caught up in the activities of two revolutionaries, Blossom and Django, and finds herself in a concentration camp for women. In the center of the camp is a towering wooden machine, "The Big Bird Cage," in which the women risk their lives processing sugar as the evil warden looks on. The prisoners are subjected to sadistic cruelty from the guards and fellow prisoners, and all attempts at escape are dealt with--permanently. Terry's only hope for escape lies in Blossom and her revolutionary allies.

Placed in a brutal all-women prison somewhere in the impenetrable jungles of the Philippines, social-climber Terry finds herself imprisoned after a fateful encounter with tough-as-nails revolutionary Blossom and her rebel boyfriend Django. Now, trapped in the infernal labor camp of sadistic warden Zappa, Terry and the rest of the unfortunate inmates must endure daily humiliation, torture, and back-breaking work at the dangerous wooden mill known as the Big Bird Cage. Can the doomed women break their shackles and escape a fate worse than death?—Nick Riganas
