[2] A couple known only by their alias 'Dancer' and 'Scuzz' are a married pair of drifters who make a living by employing a trio of loose young women, known as the C.B.

They travel up and down the I-5 expressway in southern California in two separate vans where the young women pick up truck drivers and other travelers at rest stop areas and truck depots where they charge them $25 each for sexual favors, with Dancer and Scuzz receiving 40% of the Hustlers profits.

In public, Dancer and Scuzz go by their real names of "Mr. and Mrs. Turner" and always introduce the three young women as their daughters to avoid any unwanted attention.

Small town sheriff Elrod P. Ramsey cannot seem to catch the Hustler's work in the act, so he employs two men, Boots Clayborn and Mountain Dean, who own and operate the local newspaper to investigate and hope to catch the Hustlers in the act.

While Mountain sees this as a potential story for his newspaper to advance his career, Boots meets and soon becomes enamored with one of the young Hustlers and even tries to help them stay one step ahead of the law.
