The addition of a cool blonde newcomer to the Dagger Debs -- a female gang -- sets off an internal power struggle in this lurid cult classic.

Tony Curtis stars as Lepke, head of Murder Inc., the syndicate that spattered the headlines of the day with blood. From his rough-and-toumble East Side childhood to his rise in the drug trade to his 1944 execution at Sing Sing, Lepke depicts with brute force the criminal career of a man with more than 60 murders to his credit.

Jack Hill's Switchblade Sisters is the outlandish, action-packed story of a tough gang of teenage girls, the all-female Dagger Debs, who are looking for love and fighting for turf on the mean streets of the city! Bad girls to the core, these impossibly outrageous high school hoodlums go where they want and create mayhem wherever they go! Switchblade Sisters is a riotously entertaining mix of sex, jealousy, and massive firepower that critics loved.
