Synopsis

A motorcycle-riding undertaker and his two biker pals create business for the funeral parlor by selecting a victim at random from the telephone book and gruesomely murdering them. The undertaker then overcharges the victim's families for the cheap, shoddy funerals he provides.

A private detective who has lost two secretaries to the gang pursues them, but is killed by a bomb left by the undertaker. Finally, the police step in and save two other women from falling victim to the gang.
