Komasa (Miki Sugimoto) is one of the young girls taken to a prison at the beginning of the movie to spend the next few years behind bars - but then her prisoner transport is attacked by a gang breaking free one of her co-convicts, and since none of the other passengers of the transport are eager to miss out on a good opportunity, they all make a getaway as well ... and all of a sudden Komasa finds herself being the leader of a small group of escapees, whom she brings to Osaka for a bit of thieving to make a living. Unfortunately though, the territory they have picked is the turf of the Black Dragon Gang, and they don't like any competition - and time and again, Komasa and her girls have to painfully be remembered of this.

Komasa however is not a girl to be defeated that easily, so she soon hooks up with Tatsuo, a Black Dragon Gang underling who isn't too pleased with the gang's leadership and tries to instrumentalize him in her revenge against the gang - with the result that she and her girls are captured and while her girls are sold into prostitution, she is brutally tortured and raped. But Tatsuo proves to be a trusted accomplice when he frees her from the clutches of his own gang. Komasa soon starts an affair with him, too ... oh, and she frees her girls from the prostitution ring they are held by.

There is one problem concerning Tatsuo, and that's Maya (Reiko Ike), his girlfriend who only now has returned from hiding (she has stabbed one of the leaders of the Black Dragon Gang who has humiliated Tatsuo) and who doesn't like Komasa taking over her turf and her lover. She's in undyingly in love with Tatsuo by the way because he saved her from a rape even if that meant swacrificing his promising basebal career.

The Maya-problem seems to resolve itself though when Tatsuo is ordered to bring Maya to Black Dragon HQ, where she's supposed to be killed - and he does follow his orders too, the rat. However, when Komasa learns that, she breaks Maya free, out of sisterhood.

Maya next prepares to kill Tatsuo, but when she has the chance and Tatsuo promises to not even put up resistance, she can't - and then he's shot by his own gang, because he has long been a sort-of problem child.

That does it for Maya and Komasa, and with the rest of Komasa's gang (just two girls), they visit Black Dragon HQ and turn it into a slaughterhouse in an extended battle which they blow up at the climax. Then Maya, Komasa and Komasa's girl go on a thieving tour around Japan ...

 

Girl Boss Revenge is hip, is fast-paced, flashy, sexy, fetishistic and whatnot ... but it simply isn't one of the better examples of the delinquent girls genre that made a splash on Japanese cinema screens in the early 1970's, and the reason is probably its script that seems horribly disjointed, as it seems to throw subplots and characters into its story without rhyme or reason, just to keep things going, is short on character motivations and character development, and frequently losesw sight of its main story thread.

that all said, the film isn't too bad, it has still got plenty of likeable and at times genre-typical enjoyably sleazy scenes, it just fails to be totally convincing.
