Two women incarcerated in a women's prison bust out and go on the run. This AIP effort is a gender switched version of the 50's movie The Defiant Ones. Instead of Sidney Poitier and Tony Curtis, we get Pam Grier and Margaret Markov, shackled together on the run. It basically works as a combination of a women-in-prison flick and a chase movie, with the WIP elements coming early on in the way of lesbian guards, shower scenes and cat fights, while the majority of the movie has the girls on the run pursued by three groups - gangsters led by a fat sleazy crime boss, a cowboy bounty hunter hired by the cops and a group of Marxist revolutionaries who are affiliated with Markov. Like a lot of Philippines shot efforts, there's a lot of running about in the jungle and overall, its fairly routine stuff. But its good as an example of an early lead role for Pam Grier.
