The beautiful Belladona was stripped of her virginity by the lord when she was newly married, but her husband had no comfort after her haggard return. Belladona's mournful body summoned the devil and gave her comfort. Soon after the war broke out, the strong men of the town went out with the lord. Belladona used her mysterious ability to maintain the supply of the castle after her husband's collapse, which aroused the jealousy of the lord's wife and was finally imprisoned. The growing black demon came and took Belladona away and swallowed up the vast land with the plague. Belladona used her special ability to save the people, but the lord harmed her again. This film, produced by Tezuka's Bug Studio, is the most modern of a series of adult animated films released by the studio in about 70 years, and was once an official competition at the'73 Berlin Film Festival. Yoshihiko Sato, who played the soundtrack for the film, was one of the core figures of the Japanese free jazz movement in the 1970s.
