The General Construction (GC) Corporation, led by President Clark, wishes to tear down the Bronx to turn it into “the city of the future.” To do this, they need to clear the current population from the area and have employed former prison warden Floyd Wangler and a private battalion of "Disinfestors" to burn, shoot and gas those who will not leave willingly.

While the bums, vagrants and elderly are easy prey, the remaining warrior gangs of the Bronx will not go quietly.

When Trash's parents are burned alive by Disinfestors, he takes revenge by leading ruthless guerrilla attacks on the clean-up squads.

The GC Corporation and Wangler retaliate with nastier means of attacking the rebellion (such as rigging hostages with bombs).

Together, they plan to kidnap President Clark and use him as a bargaining chip to put the Bronx back in the hands of the gangs.

Strike, Trash, and Moon move to the surface in order to carry out the kidnapping of Clark, who is about to attend a propaganda ceremony in the Bronx.

Trash, Clark and Strike go back to a collector that gives them safe passage into the underground area; their escape is further helped by explosives set off by Junior.

After taking a look around him, Junior asks his father if they can go back underground because the surface wasteland is not a good place to live.

Most of the jokes regarded the obvious Italian setting and bad outfits but of particular note is that the character of Doblòn (whose name the characters mispronounce as Toblerone) quickly won Mike, Tom Servo, and Crow over with his over the top performance ("We're getting a big slab of Toblerone here!").

MST3K riffers Michael J. Nelson, Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy produced a new riffing of the film for Rifftrax on June 3, 2022.
