Wow...I saw this in its MST3K form, so I missed out on the rape/murder scene. The film is terrible, even with that part cut out.
Let's see...it's about love....no, it's about feeling good...what is it about? I don't know myself. But the plot is that Rommel (the Desert Fox) is an upcoming participant of an upcoming sport called sidehacking (racing with a hastily-built and -welded sidecar).
One day in his feel-good life (a great job, a loving fiancée, who could ask for anything more?), a beatnik jerkoff named J.C. (stands for Jerked Chicken?) comes into town and after seeing Rommel race, decides he wants the magnificent bastard in his stunt group. Rommel doesn't wanna, and then sees J.C.'s other side--one of instability and womanizing. J.C.'s slutty, Nancy Sinatra-like girlfriend Paisley tries to get Rommy to take her away from the psycho, but he smartly says no. She gets upset and tries to make it look like he raped her. So, J.C. goes nuts again and kills and rapes Rommel's fiancée and beats him up.
After a long, boring recollection of the dead fiancée, Rommel decides to go get revenge. Unable to get the help of his co-worker, he hires the following (apparently the best he could do)--Nero, some former J.C. gang member who trusts nobody, Gooch (or is it Cooch?), another former J.C. compadre who is really a spy, Big Jake (a big lug who agrees to working after receiving a weak punch to his impenetrable abs), and Crapout--a stereotypical hick who makes terrible jokes ("Nuuuuumber 8!") and comes up with stupid ideas--like a large battering ram.
Anyway, Gooch arranges a meet between J.C.'s and Rommel's gang and after a brief interrogation of the spy, Rommel uses his great thinking and decides to go in anyway--with no guns! So, the battle ensues. Big Jake manages some henchmanlike kills then gets hit with a tomato gun. Cooch fails to bring Rommel in on his knees and J.C. kills him. Then Nero and Crapout ride around on a sidehack vehicle and (despite Rommel's orders) Crapout pulls out a revolver and manages to shoot all of J.C.'s goons.
Then, it's just between J.C. and Rommel...the fight rages on boringly and at the end, J.C. kills Rommel as the police arrive.
Wow...exciting? No? I didn't think so either...definitely MST3K-worthy.
Update--I have seen another edition of this film. The rape scene (more like flashbacks) is a bit brutal. Some of the other stuff removed from the MST3K episode was probably cut for time (like how Crapout gets involved in this--apparently he's an old friend of Rommel's and sometime jailbird). Another thing to note is MST3K's censors worked wonders in removing the 'n' word from one scene where J.C. blows up on Nero.
