Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This 1955 movie, originally entitled Swamp Women, is the directorial debut of Roger Corman. It features Beverly Garland as Ax-Crazy Vera and Mike "Mannix" Connors (credited here as "Touch" Connors) as Bob "the Hostage" Matthews.The film opens in the middle of Mardi Gras, with up-and-coming oil tycoon Bob Matthews promising to take his girlfriend Marie out into the Louisiana marshes to inspect some of his land holdings. Cut to the police station where plucky lady cop Lee Hampton learns she must undertake a dangerous mission to infiltrate an all-girl gang, currently in prison, and recover a cache of stolen diamonds. Unfortunately, the only way to recover the diamonds is to join the so-called Nardo Gang and break them out of jail so they can lead Lee to where the diamonds were hidden — deep in the Louisiana marshes. The gang stumbles across Bob and Marie exploring the bayou and promptly takes them hostage. Lee, already having trust issues with the gang, now finds her cover story increasingly harder to maintain as she tries to protect the hostages from the vengeful ladies. It's highly questionable whether any of them will make it out of the swamp alive.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })For the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version, please go to the episode recap page. | |

Cardboard Prison: Justified; the Nardo gang were supposed to escape, so as to lead Lee to the stolen diamonds. | |

Disposable Woman | |
| Swamp Diamonds / int_84fa1d7d | comment |
Disposable Woman: Marie. A really paradigmatic example, as it's difficult to explain her role in the plot in any way except "deliver Bob to Lee so that they can initiate the movie's real romance."Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Karmic Death | |
| Swamp Diamonds / int_90d44f44 | comment |
It also serves as a Karmic Death, as she is implied to be a Gold Digger (despite having a wealthy family herself) and is willing to sell/abandon Bob to the gang in order to save herself. | |

Real Life: Jil Jarmyn said "goodbye" to her career when she had a Cat Fight with Susan Hayward and filed assault charges on her. Well, she had a regular role on The Lineup, but her career was over by 1964. | |

Death Equals Redemption | |
| Swamp Diamonds / int_f9671119 | comment |
Death Equals Redemption: Played with. After trying to steal both the diamonds and Bob, Vera gets fatally wounded with a spear by the other women. Her last act is to shoot a snake about to bite Bob. One character remarks that the last thing the Ax-Crazy Vera did was to save someone's life; another responds that "the last thing she did was kill — kill a snake." | |
