Romko is an artist, and he's sketching biker gang leader Keeg. Keeg is running a white slavery operation in Las Vegas and doesn't want to be incriminated, so he attacks Romko, and slashes his hands to protect the gang's anonymity. One of the gangs followers, Lea, takes Romko back to her apartment and calls for Docky to help mend his hands. Docky provides the distraction while Keeg and his gang ransack Romko's apartment, and steal all the remaining sketches. Lea offers to pose nude for Romko, which leads to a romantic sexual interlude the next day. In the meantime the gang has kidnaped a local high school girl, Janie, intent in turning her to prostitution. Keeg and the entire gang rape Janie, then pump her full of a large dose of
