The Battling Ballerina!

Plot:

Belinda Lee had opened her own ballet school in the rough, tough city of Blackcastle. Unfortunately the hall she rented was wanted by a local punk group, who were out to cause trouble at any cost. Belinda decided that the only way to run her school was to teach judo and the art of self defence as well.
