The movie was reportedly inspired by the 1958 film The Defiant Ones in which Sidney Poitier and Tony Curtis are shackled together similarly to Grier and Markov. Set in an unspecified Latin American country (referred to only as "the island"), the movie was shot in the Philippines for budgetary purposes.
Brought to a women's prison in a tropical country resembling the Philippines-set location of the movie, Lee Daniels (Pam Grier) and Karen Brent (Margaret Markov), a prostitute and a revolutionary respectively, butt heads and cause enough trouble to warrant a transfer to a maximum-security prison. They are chained together during the transfer, much to their dismay, and an attack by Karen's rebel friends allows them to escape, albeit still chained together.
The movie chronicles the pair's struggle to evade the army, led by Captain Cruz (Eddie Garcia), who enlists the help of the cowboy gang led by Ruben (Sid Haig). The pair also has competing goals: Lee aims to recover the money she extorted from her former pimp, Vic Cheng (Vic Díaz), and escape by boat, while Karen intends to meet her gun connections on time to prevent them from turning on her rebel friends.
The pair finally bonds, despite their initial hatred for each other, until they are ultimately freed by the rebel leader Ernesto (Zaldy Zshornack). The movie culminates in a violent shootout involving Cheng and Ruben's henchmen (who are rivals), Ernesto's guerrillas, and the army. While Karen is killed in the firefight, Lee escapes on a sailing vessel.

I like this movie...But it is cut though! I got to see this in the drive-in and I thought "Another Roger Corman classic" shot in the Philippines, that really piqued my interest! That film with another movie, "The Big Dollhouse", was shown in tandem with this movie. Great old, exploitation movies with all the elements for entertainment! Both the women, Pam Grier and Marget Markov are still alive and kicking! Peace:goodvibes:

Just a thought! I'm sitting in my library,drink in head, she opens the door slowly stepping in. I look of ,now I have you, on her face! She walks towards me raising her gun up firing known she miss! Standing over me , I look up , and take a sip of my drink. She hits me with the gun up side my head. I stare back at her, same hitting and then passion. Make up your own events. Because mine is going to take a few hours. Wow she will do! Thanks for my image.
