After killing a yakuza member, imprisoned gang leader Nami (Meiko Kaji) is released three years later, shunned into the underworld of sex clubs and street gangs. She moves in with her uncle, a billiards‑hall owner, befriends pimp Ryuji (Tsunehiko Watase) and works at a Ginza hostess club. When a rival gang threatens the club, Nami fights back, wielding a pool cue to protect her uncle’s business and later a sword to exact bloody revenge.
