The House of Bamboo Dolls
1970 Lo Lieh
In the final stages of World War II, the Japanese troops in South West China rob gold from Chinese banks with the intention of shipping it to Japan. They also capture a number of young women, and imprison them in a concentration camp where they can rape these helpless prisoners.
Among the prisoners are Hung Yu-lan (Li Hai-Shu), Hu Li-chu (Kao Shang-Mei), Huant Hsia (Lo Hsia-Ying), and three American Red Cross nurses, namely, Jennifer (Birte Tove), Elizabeth (Niki Wane), and Mary (Ruskha Rozen). Chang, the camp cook, is actually a Chinese agent planted in the camp to help Hu Li-chu escape. Hu Li-chu is the wife of a Chinese army officer who recovered the stolen gold when he led his men in ambush against the Japanese. All his comrades were killed but before he himself died, he managed to hide the gold and reveal its hiding place to his wife. However, Hu Li-chu suffers partial amnesia as a result of the brutal treat~nent by Japanese soldiers at time of her capture. She can
|
only remember "White Cloud Hill".
Hu Li-chu refuses to make an escape bid without Jennifer and the other four girls. Chang agrees and, at midnight, he cuts off the electricity, plunging the camp into darkness, so that the girls can cUmb through the electric barbed wire fence. But the Japanese have been alerted by ~n informer, and Chang is killed, and the girls recaptured.
Tsui Kuo-tung (Lo Lieh) works as an interpreter for the Japanese Camp Commandant. Before Chang died he told Jennifer to contact Tsui who was also a Chinese agent. Jennifer and Tsui fall in love and secretly engineer a second escape bid. They are successful but Mary is shot in the attempt and the Japanese are hot on the trail marked by the informer. The escapees head for White Cloud Hill where they hope to find the gold and return it to the Chinese Government. Who is the traitor in their midst, and will she be discovered before it's too late?
