After being raped as a child by a greasy derelict,
Madeleine (
Christina Lindberg) is left mute. Fifteen years later, she has grown into a beautiful, but very traumatized young woman. After missing her bus one day,
Madeleine is picked up by a smooth-talking man named
Tony Dill (
Heinz Hopf), who hooks her on heroin and forces her into prostitution, slicing one of her eyeballs out with a scalpel in graphic detail (
Lindberg claims director
Bo A. Vibenius used a real corpse) when she revolts. When
Madeleine's parents commit suicide, she snaps, and begins training in karate, stunt driving, and shooting, biding her time for a violent revenge. That's when the shocks really begin, particularly in the original version, which is 15 minutes longer than the truncated print released by
American-International.
Lindberg suffered similar travails in
Gustav Wiklund's smarmy (but less explicit)
Exponerad three years earlier.
