Synopsis
C.C. [Namath], Lizard and Captain Midnight come across fashion designer Ann [Margaret] on a desert highway in her broken-down limousine.  [Most of the scenes were filmed in Arizona.] Her driver has gone for help.  While Joe tries to fix the car, the other two try to rape her in the back.  Joe comes to the rescue and is later berated for not having proper gang spirit by gang leader Moon (Smith).

The gang checks out a local motocross competition where Ann is doing a fashion shoot.  They make fools of themselves trying to run the motocross track on choppers but C.C. decides motocross racing is for him.  He makes the apparently easy transition to dirt bike racing, getting signed on to a racing team on the strength of one practice run.  The gang members make a big to-do when C.C. wins making Moon jealous (almost childishly petulant).   Moon starts a fight with C.C. when C.C. withholds $100 from the winnings he turns over to the gang.  After the fight with Moon, C.C. seduces Moon's woman.  He takes back all the money which Moon gave her for safekeeping.  C.C. leaves the gang, finds Ann and moves into her fancy home with her. After a few days of romantic dalliance, Ann is kidnapped by Moon and taken back to the gang's encampment.  C.C. is told to come up with  $1000 or she'll be gang-raped.  C.C. says he'll go double or nothing, $2000 if Moon can beat him on a flat track racing choppers.  Moon is killed during the race in a spectacular crash.  C.C. takes advantage of the confusion and takes off with Ann.

Ann Margaret and Joe Namath
The flirtation scenes between Ann & C.C. are painfully stiff to watch.
Joe Namath confronts William Smith
Moon rules the gang from a wing chair throne.

When the gang's bank account gets low, the girls are sent out to "work" to replenish it.
Just before the big fight scene, the script has Moon but not C.C. ,barefoot.  Smith did his own fighting and had a nice karate kick; that little precaution probably made the scene easier to film without  injuries to Namath.
Lucky for Namath William Smith is barefoot
William Smith and Joe Namath get ready to rumble
William Smith and Joe Namath eyeball to eyeball
Moon and  CC fight
C.C. seduces Moon's girl Pom Pom so he can retake his cash.
The nude love scene with Ann Margaret is so dark, they could easily have substituted a body double.
William Smith comes to kidnap Ann Margaret
A chilling scene when Ann sees this instead of C.C. in her house.
