Set in Harlem in 1930, Angel is a struggling blues singer and nightclub performer who cannot find a job. Her friend Guy, a costume designer, is also out of work but dreams of being hired to design dresses for the famous African-American singer and dancer Josephine Baker, who is living in Paris. Angel allows herself to be courted by Leland, a very conservative, religious young man from Alabama, who claims he wants to marry her. When Angel gets pregnant and seeks an illegal abortion, Leland takes his anger out in the worst way possible.

Big 8, a feisty rodeo competitor is a bitter critter, facing forclosure on the Wyoming ranch where she rehabilitates injured rodeo cowboys while her sister works over at the local slaughterhouse. The arrival of a shocking woman named Shedevil and a one-eyed Ukranian biker named Black Dog ushers in outrageous violence and horror in this shoot-em up, knock’em up, cut’em up comic romp that roasts the cowboy mentality of pulp western writers like Zane Grey.
