The last of a four-film series which began with Naku Onna, and the second to be helmed by Nikkatsu's top director of the time, Masaru Konuma, is probably the best of the four. All were made to spotlight the studio's new reigning queen of softcore, Maiko Kazama, and this well-made pinku eiga melodrama casts the actress -- whose reputation as a maneater gave her the nickname "Horobosu" ("she who devours") -- slightly against type. While her husband is away, Kazama is raped, and is later kidnapped and tortured by the rapist and his wife. What the abused Kazama doesn't know is that she is the focus of their revenge because her husband showed up at their wife-swapping party with a hooker instead of her. Needless to say, Kazama is not happy with her husband when all is said and done, and "Horobosu" comes to the fore once again. Asami Ogawa co-stars.
