Storyline

A newspaper publisher's daughter suffers from neglect by her parents. She and her friends turn to crime by dressing up like men, holding up gas stations, raping young men at gunpoint, and having makeout parties when her parents are away. Their "fence" gets them to trash the school on request of sinister un-American clients, and they run afoul of the law, apple pie, and God himself. Written by Ed Sutton <[email protected]>

Simply a Classic
6 October 2002 | by (Somewhere, Nowhere) – See all my reviews

Written by the legendary(that's right) Edward D. Wood Jr., this movie stands high above all of the crap that came out during that time. Possibly one of the best stories Ed Wood ever wrote. Who could ask for more than beautiful young girls going around robbing gas stations and causing mayhem? No one.
