A former motorcycle club leader, Mike (Tom Stern), returns home from Vietnam to resume his life and form a new motorcycle club. Using all his gathered experience as a hero from the war he tries to unite all the existing motorcycle clubs in the neighborhood and put together a brand new, super outlaw club. They beat a road police officer who wants to give them a parking ticket. Although the sheriff tries to calm everybody down, things are not going down well. Very soon Mike faces big trouble when Speed, one of his gang members, is stopped on fake possession charges and murdered on retaliation.
