Raven Shaddock is the leader of a biker gang called "The Bombers", who run a district in the bad part of Chicago known as "The Battery". Raven & the Bombers run a bar called Torchy's & there are bands that perform there.
Raven, along with the Bombers, go into the other part of Chicago called the Richmond & they end up kidnapping a singer named Ellen Aim, who is having a concert at the auditorium & she is taken to Torchy's & being held there. Ellen Aim's ex-boyfriend, Tom Cody, along with Ellen's manager & new boyfriend, Billy Fish, & a former soldier, McCoy, go to rescue her.
Tom Cody rescues Ellen, & she, McCoy, & Fish drive off in Cody's car. Cody shoots up some of the Bombers' motorcycles, & Raven walks through the fire & he & Tom Cody meet. Raven tells Cody that he likes it when someone likes to play rough & tells Cody that he will be coming after him & Ellen. Cody rides off in one of the Bombers' motorcycles & meets up with Ellen Aim, McCoy, & Billy Fish.
A few days later, Raven has a talk with Officer Cooley and Officer Price, he tells them he and Cody will fight it out on the street, & he will not send any of his men there. The next day, Raven waits for Cody & Officer Price tells Raven to leave, but does not & calls in the rest of the Bombers with an air horn. Cody shows up & both Raven & Tom end up fighting it out, first with spike hammers and then they fight with their own fists. Tom Cody ends up defeating Raven Shaddock and is badly beaten. The cops, along with the citizens of Richmond, pulled out guns & pointed them at the Bombers. Raven is taken away by his second-in-command Greer & the Bombers leave Richmond.
