This is one of those tawdry exploitational melodramas that seems to wallow in its own sleaze. Beautiful young girls are spirited away to "Hell's Island." Here they are imprisoned and brutalized, in preparation for their being sold to an oriental white slave operation. The film's publicity poster showed two nearly-naked lovelies roped to trees, so we know the target audience here (warning: the girls on the poster are heaps prettier than those in the movie itself). Brad Harris, Tony Kendall, Monica Pardo and "The Beautiful Lost Girls of Hell's Island" star in this Ray Molina-Robert Saxton production, which the ads told us was "actually filmed in all the exotic lands where it really happened!"
