Industrial worker, ex-con and former NASCAR driver Jensen Ames struggles to support his family. Case ejects herself out of the car just before Joe destroys it (as it crosses the finish line). Against her protest, Frankenstein refuses to let Joe finish first. His navigator, Case, reports that all his defensive equipment have malfunctioned. Towards the end of one race, a masked driver nicknamed Frankenstein is nearing the finish line, pursued by his rival Machine Gun Joe. Any racer winning five races will be granted freedom. The track is littered with pressure plates that activate either the cars' offensive weapons, defensive equipment or deadly traps.
