What happens

Shogun's Joy of Torture (徳川女刑罰史, Tokugawa onna keibatsu-shi; Tokugawa Era Female Punishment) is a 1968 Japanese ero guro film directed by Teruo Ishii and distributed by Toei. The film, which can be classified as belonging to a subgenre of pink films, is considered a precursor to Toei's ventures into the "pinky violent" style of filmmaking seen in the early 1970s. It was followed by Shogun's Sadism in 1976. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
