The Big Bird Cage
Cheap drive-in thrills abound as Terry (Anitra Ford) is kidnapped during a nightclub shootout and thrown into a concentration camp for women. In the centre of the camp stands a towering wooden machine - "The Big Bird Cage" - in which the women risk their lives processing sugar as the evil warden looks on. The prisoners are subjected to sadistic cruelty from the guards and fellow prisoners, and all attempts at escape are dealt with... permanently. Terry's only hope for escape lies in fellow inmate Blossom (Pam Grier) and her revolutionary allies.
