STARRING: Phyllis Davis as Joy, Barbara Leigh as Bunny, Ena Hartman as Carmen, Marta Kristen as Lee, Don Marshall as AJ, Tom Selleck as Dr. Milford and Sean Kenney as Bobby.

SUMMARY: The movie opens with a TV station going back three ago when Supreme Court decision to outlaw the death penalty, California passes an initiative that designates San Bruno Island as a dumping spot for first-degree murder convicts, free to do what they like except leave. Carmen is sentences to Terminal Island for murder. When she gets there, Dr Milford greets her. Carmen Spends the night on the beach near a warm fire. The next morning Carmen starts to head inland when she comes across the camp. When Carmen reaches, camp Bobby tells Monk to break her in. After Carmen is broken in the hard way she is assign a cabin. The next day Carmen and another woman inmate are seen pulling a plow. Joy goes to get a drink and it turns into a fight between two male inmates. The tyrannical Bobby, who rules with an iron hand and the women are used as sex slaves, controls the main camp of convicts. The girls are force to help build a wall. That evening Joy is trying to clean up Carmen hands when Monk comes into their cabin and tells them all that there working the night shift. The next day the men are standing line getting ready to be served by the women food. Bunny who's Bobby personal slave gets Bobby and Monk food. One of the other male inmates gets into a confrontation with another and a brawl inc-uses until one of them is killed with a knife, which means there is one less mouth to feed. His body is thrown of the cliff and into the ocean. The next day the women prisoners are washing clothes when three escape convicts kill three guys and take the four women prisoners into hiding.

QUESTIONS: Who were the four inmates that took the girls? Why did they take the girls? Why are the four men separated from the group?

MY THOUGHTS: I love this movie. This movie had three ingredients that make a great movie. Action, drama, and beautiful woman. I think Don Marshall was good in his role as AJ. I also thought that Monk and Dr Milford where good in their roles also. Barbara Leigh was good in her role as Bunny, So was Ena Hartman in her role as Carmen and Marta Kristen in her role as Lee. However, this movie in my mind was all about Phyllis Davis. She was fantastic in her role as Joy. One of my favorite scenes is when Dylan tries to come onto Joy and she makes him take his pants off. Then she covers his privates with honey and then walks over to a stump full of bees and cracks with a stick and the bees chase Dylan into the water. With the three things, that makes a movie great in this picture. Also for the talent and beautiful body of Phyllis Davis, I give this movie 10 weasel star.
