That big blond cowboy with the evil grin is Ramrod (Wings Hauser), who manages a stable of prostitutes. He says he loves them, often he beats them, sometimes they die. Tonight, Ramrod is feeling meaner than usual. Seems that Princess (Season Hubley), the proverbial whore with a heart of depreciated gold, has set him up for the boys in blue. Time she was taught a fatal lesson, if Ramrod can just find her. And he will, using all the resources of his psychopathy-unless the vice squad finds him first...
