action
The malicious hermaphrodite Velvet Ragner performs a satanic rocker - sect on. Agent Drew Stargrove is set to eliminate Ragners to prevent his diabolical plan to radioactively contaminate Los Angeles water supplies. His son Lance Stargrove is still in high school, where he excels as a gymnast. While trying to get into von Ragner's hiding place, Stargrove is arrested by supporters of the rocker gang and brought up for interrogation by von Ragner, who suspects a stolen program disk at Stargrove and blackmailed him with the murder of his son. Stargrove initially manages to escape, but is finally shot by von Ragner himself. At his father's funeral, Lance first saw the attractive Danja Deering. When Lance wants to visit his father's farm, which he inherited, Danja is there and is attacked by two confused-looking members of the sect. She kills one of the two, but also accidentally blows up a barn. Both villains wanted to clarify the whereabouts of a floppy disk .
Danja Deering poses as a secret agent who wants to investigate Drew's death. When Danja and Lance investigate in the rocker scene, the first failed murder attempt on Lance takes place. Danja later survived an attack by two rockers. She kills the two and warns Lance not to investigate as well. Shortly afterwards, both of them are kidnapped by Ragners gang, but Lance is able to free himself and Danja as well. Meanwhile it turns out that von Ragner is working on scientific experiments. These results would give him the opportunity to poison Los Angeles' water supplies . Danja seduces Lance. Later both are again in the power of the gang. Here they are freed by other agents in a showdown. In a duel on the Big Tujunga Dam in the Los Angeles hinterland, whose water supply von Ragner wants to contaminate radioactively using a remote control in a suitcase, Lance kills Velvet von Ragner with the very long artificial fingernail with which von Ragner murdered his victims. This avenges the death of the father. At the end of the film there is a hint of a romance between Danja and Lance.
