A group of sadistic hunters, all ex-military, kidnap a couple on a remote mountain highway. They take them by river to their hunting lodge. The girl, pretty Cornelia Sharpe, is chained and ordered to clean the oven, while the guy is forced to chew gum. Later, things get more serious when they get her drunk and rape her. The next day she starts exhibiting the "Stockholm syndrome" and sympathizing with her captors, specifically Peter Fonda. However, when they turn both loose with the intent of hunting them down in cold blood she changes her mind.
