Synopsis by Robert Firsching
Acclaimed Nikkatsu pinku eiga director Chusei Sone went slumming with this sleazy softcore melodrama about a teenage runaway (Yuko Katagiri) who goes to Tokyo and becomes a prostitute for her new yakuza boyfriend (Hideaki Ezomi). Ezomi leaves her for another woman, but suddenly becomes impotent and -- impotent pimps not being much good at controlling their stables -- promptly loses all of his hookers. Director Sone at least attempts to give the film his usual quirky attitude and glossy look, but the material really needed a grittier approach from a director of perhaps less talent, but more sleaze credibility. Setsuko Ohyama and Joji Sawada co-star.
