As the movie begins, Biker Queen discover the severed arm of Harley Mom from the previous film. Upon discovering the surviving Bartender, she tortures him into telling her who killed Harley Mom. He reveals that it was Bozo and points her to a town where he lives. She knocks Bartender out and takes him with her to the town.
Meanwhile,the town is overrun by the monsters. A pair of small Mexican wrestlers named Thunder and Lightning are attacked by the monsters and Lightning's girlfriend is killed. Inside the jail, a hobo is in a cell for dealing meth. The Sheriff taunts him before being killed. A car salesman named Slasher finds evidence of his wife cheating and barely escapes the monsters.
The following morning, Biker Queen and four of her friends arrive in the deserted town, ignoring the dead bodies as they look for Bozo and cross paths with Slasher, his wife Secrets and the man she has an affair with, Greg. The group is attacked by a monster, which kills a biker girl. The biker girls and the Bartender make their way to Bozo's apartment where they encounter Honey Pie, the girl who left them the group from the first movie behind at the bar. Bartender brutally attacks her and knocks Honey Pie out of the window and onto the street. Honey Pie survives the fall and goes into hiding.
Slasher, Greg, and Secrets receive a call from the wrestlers but before they find them, are ambushed by the bikers. Both groups get to a garage where the brothers and their grandmother are hiding. The group then tries to make it to the jail, but the hobo has sealed himself in.
As the wrestlers try to fashion a skeleton key for the jailhouse, more monsters swarm to the garage. The brothers return with the key but the group must go to the roof to escape the monsters. The survivors on the roof hear a baby crying, trapped inside a station wagon. Greg tries to save the baby, but throws it to the monster to eat as a distraction when he has trouble escaping.
Trapped on the roof, the group fashions a catapult, using the wrestler's injured grandmother to test it, causing her to smash into a wall and die. Thunder gets onto the catapult but is thrown into the street where he is quickly attacked by the monsters and disemboweled. Greg is then severely injured when a pipe flies into his head. Meanwhile, Lightning crosses the street under the protection of a trashcan. Thunder, missing his legs crawls away while Lightning picks up the key he had dropped. Lightning reaches the jailhouse, but as he opens the door the hobo throws a stick of dynamite out. Lightning ducks down in the trashcan to protect himself from the explosion and is launched across the street. Honey Pie, who made it to the border of the town, is injured by flying shrapnel. The others watch as the monsters begin breaking onto the rooftop. Suddenly, Honey Pie gets up, screaming in anguish, and grabs her gun.
