The stage is set for a series of confrontations when photographer Mark Jefferson (Tom Eplin) agrees to help his friend Roger (John Mayall) defend his night club against a handful of organized crime figures. Mark has an added incentive for becoming involved as his ex-girlfriend Carol (Cheri Cameron Newell) sings at the club. But the gangsters are willing to use mayhem and murder in order to take over Roger's business. It appears that the petty mobsters are out to sell illegal weapons to anyone who wants them, especially L.A.'s youth, instead of using the club as a front for a prostitution ring as Roger suspects. Soon Mark and his trusty motorcycle have their work cut out for them.
Director William Webb is a complete mystery to me, but from what we.can glean from the treasure trove of trash on Tubi, He made very low budget straight to video Flicks that were strictly genre, featured excellent music, were well shot, and absolutely entrenched in the style of the times (80s and 90s) purely because they were made at that time and low budget, so they inadvertently captured a place in time. This one is all Los Angeles Night Rain and Neon, sleazy but pure hearted fun. If you have a soft spot for low budget 80s action, you gotta see this.
