When the justice system is too lenient on crimes of immorality, House of Whipcord takes up the slack. When a young model (Penny Irving) gets a mere slap on the wrist for public nudity, she has an encounter with the mysterious (but not so mysteriously named) Mark E. DeSade. He whisks her away to his family's country estate which turns out to be a house of corrections for young women run by Mark's malevolent mum (Barbara Markham). There, she's forced to strip and thrown into a cell, surrounded by other frightened subjects and stern-faced wardens (including Walker regular, Sheila Keith). Within these walls, it's three strikes and you're dead, unless you can find a way to escape! (Redemption)
