What happens

Angels Revenge, or Angels Brigade, is a 1979 American action comedy film. It was directed by Greydon Clark and distributed by Arista Films. The film is also known as Angels' Brigade and Seven from Heaven. The film has major roles for Peter Lawford and Jack Palance as the leaders of a drug cartel, and gives minor roles to character actors Jim Backus, Alan Hale Jr., Pat Buttram, and Arthur Godfrey (playing himself). Of the actresses who played the film's seven female protagonists, however, the closest any had previously come to any degree of fame was Susan Kiger, who had been the Playboy Playmate of the Month for January 1977. Kiger played singer Michelle Wilson; her co-stars were Sylvia Anderson as stuntwoman Terry Grant, Lieu Chinh as martial arts instructor Keiko Umaro, Jacqueline Cole as high-school teacher April, Noela Velasco as model Maria, and Robin Greer as policewoman Elaine Brenner. Her younger sister Liza Greer plays high-school student Trish, who invites herself into the team. Jack Palance played chief antagonist Mike Farrell, assistant to Lawford's kingpin character. The film's plot focuses on seven female vigilantes who decide to undermine the operation of a drug cartel. The titular "revenge" is a reference to one of the vigilantes being primarily motivated by her desire to avenge her hospitalized brother, a drug user. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
