action
Ann, who is to inherit the Manhattan Cooperation from her father when she turns 18, has had enough of high society life. She seeks refuge in the Bronx, where she ends up with the leader of the rock gang The Riffs , known as Trash . Her father is doing everything possible to bring his daughter back to Manhattan. To do this, he uses the brutal police officer Hammer to help. He tries to instigate a gang war between the riffs and the largest gang, the Tigers , through an assassination attempt and lets Ann kidnap The Rollers through the roller skating alley and incites a member of the riffs to betrayal. But Trash sees through the ruse and fights his way through the territory of the enemy gangs to ask the leader of the Tigers , called The Ogre , for help. He then fights his way to the Rollers, along with Trash and his whip-wearing assistant, where they kill their leader and free Ann. As they celebrate the new unit, they are attacked and massacred by a unit of the New York Police Department under the command of Hammer. Trash survives and also manages to kill Hammer.
criticism
“The Italian B-film copies relevant action models ('The Warriors', 1978; 'Die Ratterschlange', 1980) without attaining their technical level. Brutal and glorifying violence. "
