Mark and Lynn (Darby Hinton and Diana Peterson) are drawn into acts of hatred and revenge after trying to collect on a bet with a "Hi-Rider," a drag-racing car club known for "jacking up" the rears of their cars much higher than stock. When a local "hothead" challenges the club to a race, both drivers are killed in a spectacular explosion. The local boy's father vows revenge, and an action-filled chase through town ensues between the Hi-Riders and the local henchman.

Release

The film was released theatrically in the United States by Dimension Pictures in 1978.

The film was released on a double feature DVD with Clark's The Bad Bunch by VCI Home Entertainment in 2010.
