Angel is a motorcycle bum who has ratted on his gang, the Devil's Advocates, by selling their sordid story to Like magazine for ten grand. The Advocates are angry, of course, so they leap aboard their Harley-Davidsons and go roaring off in search of Angel and Laurie, his little bombshell of a broad, who have hidden out in an abandoned house and taken up housekeeping. Soon, the "straight scene" starts to get to them. Angel shaves off his mustache and even gets a job. Laurie cooks his meals and occasionally cleans the place...

They are not satisfied, however, with their Hondas, which are underpowered for the workout they get on a patrol through the boondocks. "If we had a Harley motor in a frame like this," says Tomusho, "we'd really have something." The foursome would prefer tough scramblers, "with big drive sprockets, knobby wheels-and more vroom."

...interesting enough premise as the audience is introduced to a panel of four "experts." We are told they will conduct a discussion of race relations. All the participants are easily recognized: there is John Benjamin, a Jewish liberal who has been in the vanguard of the civil rights movement; Harley Marshall, the waspish director of a Christian anti-Communist league; Nubo Okuni, an unyielding black militant; and Willie Woods, the epitome of the Negro who's made it. The audience is asked to play the role of their reasonable and sympathetic listeners...
