Hitchhiking hippies keep everyone traveling along the highway and owners of roadside restaurants in fear. But that’s nothing compared to Harry, a former paratrooper who served in Vietnam for three years. He isn’t afraid to give the gang a worthy fight (“On the Road to Death”). Johnny Bianda, a racketeer, decides to rob his boss’s safe. The robbery goes perfectly—and on the horizon appears a luxurious life, if not for one coincidence (“Open—Death!”). Larry Lucas, accused of murdering his lover, finds himself pulled into a cruel game of robbers. Now he must choose: either surrender to the authorities, or help the bandits rob the bank (“Whoever stays alive will laugh”).
