[2] As the film opens, a motorcycle gang called the Hellcats is burying their deceased leader, Big Daddy, while being watched from a distance by two groups.

Adrian uses the Hellcats to move narcotics from Mexico into California, and, unknown to the gang, had Big Daddy killed after learning he was an informant for Chapman.

Adrian and his goons decide to kill Chapman to end his investigation, and a sniper murders him on a romantic day out with his fiancée, Linda.

Posing as a biker couple, they meet the Hellcats at their usual hangout, a dive bar called "Moonfire Inn."

Monte has difficulty getting respect from the gang's new leader, Snake, but adopts a gruff, defensive attitude that seems to impress Sheila, the driving force of the Hellcats and their contact with Adrian.

Sheila reports the news to Adrian, who demands the Hellcats retrieve the drugs hidden in Betty's bike, which has now been impounded by the police.

Hearing that the police have captured a gang member and found the heroin, Adrian flies into a rage and prepares to flee to Tahiti.

The Hellcats have been arrested for their role in the drug ring, but Monte hopes that Mongoose's confession will spare the gang too harsh a sentence.
