Plot

[edit]

A group of wild young people, after enjoying antics in a jeep, kidnap a wealthy woman driver (Bunjaku Han) by shooting out her car tires. They set her free but she forms an attraction to a member of the group. They begin a romance and she tells him she is the mistress of the leader of a religious organization called Shinkyo Gakkai.

The group dig up a stash of weapons buried in a school courtyard at the end of the second world war. They plan to rob the organization.

Production

[edit]

When the first film in the series Alleycat Rock: Female Boss proved to be a success, Nikkatsu released this sequel only three months later. Director Fujita had previously made teenage delinquent movies for the studio.[4]

The weapons seen in the film are the Nambu pistol and the type 11 light machine gun, both WW2 era Japanese military weapons.[citation needed]
