Plot



Kelly and Angie lead a gang of modern-day pirates in the South Seas, passing on the valuables taken from rich travelers and shippers to comparably poor villagers. A Justice Department official informs Kelly that her sister Sandra has been swept up in a trafficking operation and isolated in a prison camp run by crime boss Montiero, disguised as a legitimate coffee plantation, and offers her gang immunity from prosecution if they can infiltrate and convey the information that will help them shut it down. When the women penetrate the camp, they eventually recruit longtime prisoner Marcie, and Montiero's mistress Serena, to forment a rebellion and escape from the compound.
