After her husband leaves her, Meg is forced to kill her building's janitor in self-defense when he rapes her. In panick, she flees to New York under an assumed name and picks up a drunken lout who beats her with a belt, then she moves in with a lesbian. As the dragnet tightens, Meg moves to an apartment and is attacked by the landlady's husband and finally ends up working for an elderly woman whose son is the detective assigned to the janitor's murder. Wishman's bizarre film is almost surreal in style, with the requisite circular ending and aimless photography popular in art-house features of the time. Virtually impossible to see for many years, Bad Girls Go to Hell has gained a cult following on videotape for its campy, melodramatic elements and even received some theatrical playdates
