We open with a woman tied to a cross a few feet in the air. Our hero samurai looks on as she is executed by a guard driving a spear into her side. Sam is still regulating conditions at Edo Women's Prison. That night at the prison one of the women gives birth to a badly deformed child - think "Eraserhead".

Sam heads into the Edo red light district where he intervenes in a fight between a customer and what I assume are henchmen for the head pimp in the area. The customer gets his arm chopped off. A girl steps in to avert a confrontation and takes Sam into her restaurant/bar/whore house. Sam takes a shine to one of the geishas and they begin an affair. Some time later while Sam walks through town he sees the henchman hustle away another geisha who they take to their own private jail. Her wrists are tied to her ankles and she's hoisted into the air and beaten with a rod. Sam sees this and walks away in disgust noting it in his journal.

His romance with the chick continues. They are spied upon by the henchmen. Sam's superior chides him for his lax treatment of prisoners. We find out the main pimp has a badly scarred and malformed face. He has a guy tied to a table and in a fit of rage garrotes him with a thin wire.

If I'm following the storyline correctly it would seem Sam is using his position of authority to protect the local geishas from abuse by medieval Japanese pimps. Another girl has been taken by the henchmen for punishment where she is bound wrists behind and hoisted a la strappado. Several times she's hoisted and allowed to thud to the ground.

Malformed is apparently a powerful man and meets with some other equally powerful cutthroats while Sam and his lady continue to be spied on. The henchmen confront them, disarm Sam and work him over.

Back in the pimp's private jail another geisha has been bound with arms outstretched to a pole and ankles secured to uprights. They burn her with a candle. She's then retied on the ground with wrists overhead and dowsed with water. Mal taps one of his geishas while Sam consoles his lady love.

For some reason, the henchmen have Sam's lady and extend her hand on a table while one of them smashes it repeatedly with a kettle. Sam comes to the rescue and patches her up. Once again this action has displeased Sam's superior who tells him to stay out of geisha/pimp disputes. The henchmen go after one of a geishas customers in the street and drive a katana through his hand and haul him off. The geisha is punished, tied AOH to ceiling and cords looped around her waist and severely tightened until she passes out. They dowse her with water and do it again.

Some chit chat with Sam and his lady and Sam having dinner at a restaurant follow. Sam meets another chick at his place where they are confronted by Mal's henchmen. Later, he gets a message, dresses in battle gear and heads out through the wood. His lady is being chased by the henchmen. A fight ensues where Sam kills all six opponents. Now Mal appears in his battle dress and they fight. Just when Mal appears to prevail he suffers a seizure and falls onto a sharp bamboo spike. Sam takes his lady home.

A customer roughs up 2 geishas. It would seem Sam's meddling has left the geishas with no protection. In a similar incident a geisha defends herself and stabs an abusive john. Sam meets with a women in prison. And if I read this one correctly, she is the mother of his lady and she is to be executed. Sam delivers his lady a message and some momentos from mom(?) and she walks off into the darkness. The End

Movie Pluses - As in part one the production values are quite good - nice variety of torture and torment positions.

Movie Minuses - I found part one easy to follow - this one is somewhat disjointed and I'm still not certain exactly what happened. The torture scenes were not quite as intense as part one.
