A biker gang from LA goes to Las Vegas to get revenge on the rival gang that beat up their leader and sent him to the hospital. "Mother" hasn't been the same since being released: he beats up his girlfriend, orders the gang members around and drinks too much. They get a tip that the gang is hiding out in a desert mine and set off on a long, strange trip to find them. They fight amongst themselves, run out of gas and kick Mother out of the gang. He walks into the desert, starts hallucinating and ends up in a shack with an old man. Meanwhile, the gang is rescued by a tanker truck full of gasoline that appears out of nowhere. Mother reunites with them briefly for the final showdown with the Vegas bikers. It's all set to an acid rock soundtrack by Jeff Simmons, a future member of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention. In the world of late 60s biker flicks, you can't ask for much more.
