[edit] Plot Summary

Junkman and movie-maker now set in high stakes, world of wealth, glamour, and power, Harlan B. Hollis (H.B 'Toby' Halicki) struggle to stay alive when a jealous company partner (Christopher Stone) hires three goons (Tony Ostermeir, Dave Logue, and Rita Rickard) to kill him. He resents Hollis for making the movie Gone in 60 Seconds now premiring at the Los Angeles Theater.

As Hollis drives to the James Dean festival, he's unaware that killers are tracking his every move. The fast and furious race to avoid their net, stay alive and discover who is behind this lethal plan will take Hollis through a fiery battle leaving highways and city streets a series of blazing junkyards.

Hollis is now ambushed in his brand 1980 Cadillac Eldorado, by a trio of assassins: Magnum in a grey and white 1978 Dodge Magnum XE, Blackbird in a late '70s black Ford Thunderbird, and aircover in airplains. The entire first hour of the film is dominated by the ensuing chase. Left for dead, Hollis manages to escape a fiery death and heads back to Los Angeles to figure out who's trying to kill him.

Hollis manages to get back to his ranch to get his daughter Kelly's piggy bank and then takes a cab to see his friend Hoyt (Hoyt Axton) to loan him his brand new 1981 Chevrolet Corvette. Hollis later crashes the 1981 Chevrolet Corvette.

With the aid of a news crew and the Goodyear Blimp, he discloses the villain and stops a bomb from going off at the theater where Hollis's new film is being premiered.
