She though tells him she has been a slave in one of his diamond mines deep in the South American jungle, and then relates the tale of another woman, Maria (Cristina Lay), to him, of how she infiltrated the camp while actually being in league with Laredo (Anthony Steffen) and his gang of diamond thieves who posed as guards to rob the camp - but seeing how the women who are doing the actual diamond mining are worked to the bone, whipped senseless, tortured and raped, Laredo and his men organize a prison revolt, a revolt that ends in a big shoot-out that ultimately only Laredo, Maria, and Maria's cellmate Muriel (Ajita Wilson) survive.</p> <p>Having related this story, Daly shoots Luker in cold blood.</p> <p> <p>Now this is a bit of a hodgepodge of a movie: Its framing story with Linda Blair and Leon Askin makes little sense other than to add some names to the video cover and thus blast saleability, but the story their scenes frame are cobbled together from two sleazy women-in-prison movies shot by Edoardo Mulargia in 1980 back-to-back with largely the same cast, <b><a href="hotelparadise(1980).shtml">Orinoco: Prigioniere del Sesso</a></b>/<a href="hotelparadise(1980).shtml"><b>Hotel Paradise</b></a> and <b><a href="escapefromhell(1980).shtml">Femmine Infernali</a></b>/<b><a href="escapefromhell(1980).shtml">Escape from Hell</a></b> - which of course promises double the action and the sleaze, but also major continuity errors. The result es expectedly not very good - but at least the films of old are competently made and feature some great locations, and if you're into jailhouse sleaze from back when, you'll probably enjoy this more than you ought to, while all the inconsistencies and the complete lack of subtlety in both the old and new material only adding to the film's charm. <p>  </td> <td width="4" rowspan="2"></td> <td width="100" rowspan="2" background="../stylepix/squareright.gif" valign="top">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2021"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
