Japanese Title: (Kyofu Joshi Koko – Furyo Monzetsu Guruupu)
Director: Masahiro Shimura

Delinquent Convulsion Group, the third Terrifying Girls' High School picture, features Reiko Ike as a strong-willed student butting heads with her more ruthless, amoral rival (Yuko Kano) whose father (Hiroshi Nawa) is the principal. Ike wins a vote of the girls as the defacto student sukeban, and shortly thereafter her trucking company owner dad is murdered in a fake car accident. Ike’s mom (exploitation veteran, Yoko Mihara) is not only conned into signing over dad’s business, but also rudely seduced into becoming the new American mobster owner’s mistress. Principal Nawa turns out to have been in on the plot to kill Ike’s father and is in cahoots with the American gangsters’ heroin-smuggling operation. Ike is subsequently toppled from her place at the school, and, to make matters even worse, has to powerlessly sit by while her mom degenerates into a drunken whore! Ike befriends a handsome halfbreed guy (his father was an American GI), who is something of a closet anarchist bent on destroying the hoodlums who have also ruined his life. Too bad he gets murdered by the gang when he’s caught snooping around. Ike and her mates finally manage to turn the tables when they set up principal Nawa in an incest sting with his own drugged daughter, synchronized to the police breaking in just as it finally dawns on Nawa what’s going on. Ike then heads over to her dead beau’s pad where she retrieves his machine gun, makes a beeline to the gang HQ in the driving rain, then massacres the villains in a well-paced, stark and very satisfying climax.
