Synopsis
An aspiring young singer naively takes a job in a Tokyo nightspot and is drawn into a white slavery ring in which the entertainers are forced into prostitution by the Yakuza, Japan's equivalent of the syndicate. This TV version of what long was a B-movie staple of an earlier generation ran through several titles before its premiere: "Abducted," "Ride to Osaka" and "Violation of Innocence," among others. The theatrical version (for overseas showings) and the one later shown on cable television in this country had several nude scenes added.
