Original Title: Frauen für Zellenblock 9

Also Known As: Escape from the Island of Death; Tropical Inferno

Directed by: Jess Franco

Synopsis: In a war-torn corner of a South American jungle, a small group of suspected female dissidents falls into the hands of the military police. Imprisoned, they are tortured, assaulted and humiliated as their captors try to learn the location of their secret organisation.

Purr Blur: In a shot of the outside of the prison block a black cat randomly wanders across the screen (accompanied by a dubbed on cat cry) before disappearing behind a tree never to be seen again.

Final Mewsings: Considering the horrors going on in the cell block the cat was wise to stay outside and move on quickly.
