Five girls from England on their way to Australia (Sonja Jeannine, Diane Drube, Gillian Bray, Tamara Elliot, Deborah Ralls) are kidnapped by pirates and brought to boss Tiao (Li Min-Lang) to be sold as sex slaves. Fortunately for the girls, one of bos Tiao's maids, Ko Mei Mei (Liu Hui-Ling) is on their side, and she teaches them kung fu and spitting olive stones (!) to defend themselves. And fortunately, too, her brother Ko Pao (Yueh Hua) is a one-man rebel army, and as soon as the girls are delivered to their respective buyers, Ko Pao strikes and frees them all. Then he teaches them some more kung fu and sword fighting ... until Ko Pao and the girls are captured and Ko Mei mei runs into an ambush. It's almost curtains for Ko Pao and the girls as boss Tiao already prepares to rape and kill them - but ko Mei Mei has in the meantime managed to free herself, and now she frees her brother and the girls, and together they take apart boss Tiao's gang and see to it that he gets his just desserts - which includes some olive stone spitting.

I have no idea who thought it'd be a good idea to blend period martial arts pictures the Hong Hong company Shaw Brothers got famous for and brainless sexploitation German company Rapid Film got famous for, because let's face it, these two genres got little in common. However, whoever thought up this combination deserves praise for this movie that resulted from his ideas, a totally stupid piece of sex and kung fu carried by a plot silly as can be, full of ridiculously misogynistic dialogue, brainless sex humour, topless martial arts and the like. Now of course this film is utter trash with no redeeming values this side of so bad it's good, but that's exactly the reason it's fun, too.
