## Plot

Romko is an artist, and he's sketching biker gang leader Keeg. Keeg is running a white slavery operation in Las Vegas and doesn't want to be incriminated, so he attacks Romko, and slashes his hands to protect the gang's anonymity. One of the gangs followers, Lea, takes Romko back to her apartment and calls for Docky to help mend his hands. Docky provides the distraction while Keeg and his gang ransack Romko's apartment, and steal all the remaining sketches. Lea offers to pose nude for Romko, which leads to a romantic sexual interlude the next day. In the meantime the gang has kidnaped a local high school girl, Janie, intent in turning her to prostitution. Keeg and the entire gang rape Janie, then pump her full of a large dose of LSD. Keeg then forces another girl, Sandy, to engage in a gangbang with the gang. When the police arrive at Romko's apartment to question him about the attack that Keeg made on him, but Romko refuses to incriminate Keeg. This ends with Romko and Lea being arrested, but they are released the next day. The bikers then grab Romko, drag him to an abandoned cellar, and torture him by crushing his hands in a vice. When Lea finds them she pulls a gun, but is afraid to shoot. Then another girl grabs the gun and shoots Keeg. The rest of the gang are arrested and charged for the rape of Janie.
