action

A millionaire in short-term liquidity problems is planning a large-scale insurance fraud in order to recover financially with the hoped-for sum insured. The responsible, corrupt insurance agent Milton Warren uses this circumstance to enrich himself personally with the help of his secret lover, Shirley Fields, a young, unscrupulous nightclub owner. The young woman has excellent contacts with the local underworld. Warren's insidious plan is to fake an armed robbery, steal a valuable suitcase full of rough diamonds and ultimately ensure that the millionaire involved receives the long-awaited amount of damage quickly and unbureaucratically. Bill, a loyal subordinate of the millionaire, is supposed to watch the criminal activity. But Warren is pursuing his own interests with Shirley.

Shortly before the organized and bogus robbery, the insurance agent steals the suitcase with the precious stones. A few moments later, three masked men, led by Shirley's longtime partner, steal the (empty) suitcase on a yacht in the harbor in which the treasures are suspected. Shortly after the crime, the young leader of the trio, Perry Mendoza, kills his two accomplices on schedule and in extremely cold blood and returns to his waiting friend Shirley, who, however, murders him mercilessly and purposefully. The seedy woman then reports the incident to the police, claiming to have acted in an affect, so that she is sentenced to a comparatively mild sentence of only six years for manslaughter . In reality, Shirley intends to start a luxurious life with her new lover, Milton, after serving a sentence .

Contrary to their plans, however, they expect all kinds of tortures, humiliation and torture in the prison, which will turn their stay into a real martyrdom.

The insurance company, which has to pay for the diamond that has disappeared without a trace, is not convinced of Fields innocence and suspects a connection between her, the diamond theft and the death of Mendoza. As a result, insurance agent Milton Warren is dispatched to investigate the dubious matter. Warren is now trying with Bill, the confidante of the "robbed" millionaire, to get his accomplice Shirley out of prison, whose real function nobody but Warren knows. For outsiders, it is suspicious of knowing the whereabouts of the stolen goods. In fact, Warren has the booty. The sudden appearance of Warren, meanwhile, also arouses the interest of the sadistic women's prison director De Bries, who is convinced of Fields guilt and wants to make her compliant with fellow prisoners Martine and electric shocks .

The strong-willed and humiliated Shirley notices that the prison warden is playing a perverse game with her. She decides to escape from the institution. First she forcibly gets rid of the traitorous Martine, then takes De Bries hostage and thus extortes safe conduct from the maximum security prison. She is welcomed in freedom by the waiting Warren, but accompanied by the violent Bill. When Bill is out of the way, he is shot by Shirley, Shirley and Warren decide to start over in Mexico . At the end of the film, the two criminals set out separately from each other to appear at the agreed meeting point at the airport; Warren with the stolen goods in his luggage.

Production notes

In 1975, director Jess Franco shot the film Frauen-Prison for the Swiss producer Erwin C. Dietrich . This was made in southern France, the studio recordings on the upper floor of the Bahnhof restaurant in Rümlang , where Dietrich's Elite Film had their studio.

When Dietrich saw his film at the Mercato Internazionale del Film (Mifed) in Milan, he discovered that an extremely similar film with the same director was being advertised on the stand of the competitor Eurociné. It had the title Women Behind Bars , in Germany it was run as a women's prison 3 .

Dietrich accused his director of having illegally made a film for the competition behind his back and with his money. Franco claimed, on the other hand, that the film had been shot with a different camera and in a different image format, and that Eurociné had paid for the film properly. Although Dietrich was unsatisfied with this explanation, he did not break the collaboration with Franco.
