In a small, US coastal town with many Spanish speakers, a motorcycle gang arrives on holiday. Also in town to try to reconnect with his pregnant girlfriend, Karen (Diane Ladd), is businessman Paul Collier (Cameron Mitchell). Paul and a leader of the cyclists, J.J. (Bruce Dern), knew each other years before, so when the gang comes upon the couple and, led by the menacing Bunny (Jack Nicholson), beats up Paul and begins a sexual assault of Karen, J.J. tries to intervene: he suggests they hold cycle-riding contests, with the winner claiming Karen (he promises, sotto voce, to set her free if he wins). After the contests commence, Paul crawls away to look for help. He meets with a shrug from a cowardly sheriff's deputy; where can he turn?
