When Sayo (Miyoko Akaza) is sent to prison for murder she immediately begins having sex with anyone and everyone, hoping to conceive a male child that can someday kill the men that caused her sentence and killed her husband. Instead, she ends up giving birth to a girl named Yuki (Meiko Kaji). Knowing she’s about to die, Sayo gives explicit instructions to her fellow inmates on how to bring up Yuki as an instrument of vengeance.
