[5] Simone, Sheri, and Corinne, three showgirls, are traveling through the Mojave Desert to Las Vegas when their car's radiator fails, leaving them stranded overnight.
They are horrified upon arrival to find Andre's homestead contains a large barn full of shackled women whom he dehumanizes and keeps as prisoners to perform tricks, envisioning himself as a circus showman.
The three women become part of Andre's "troupe" of female slaves, and are chained together and forced to follow his sadistic orders as they march through the desert.
One of the women, a scientist, reveals that Andre kidnapped her while she was in the area studying the ecological effects of a nearby nuclear power plant.
At Andre's barn, he orders one of the women into the desert where he smears her with calf's blood and sets a caged wild cougar loose to stalk her.
Andre's father, driven insane by the radioactive exposure he suffered, murders Andrew and Simone before entering the barn, where he slaughters the women one by one.
Sheriff Stanford and his deputies arrives at the property, but are too late, finding only one lone survivor, who has been driven insane by the horrors she has witnessed.
The deputies locate one other woman wandering the property in a daze, and depart with the two survivors, unaware that Andre's father remains free, roaming the desert.
