Wild Ones on Wheels

Duke Walker is paroled from prison after a long stretch and heads for the remote Nevada diner where his pretty young wife, Hazel, waits for him. The two immediately head off on a camping trip far into the desert to retrieve the quarter million dollars Duke has buried there prior to his incarceration. Duke has talked too much in prison because they are intercepted by King Tut, a former cell mate, and his hopped-up trigger-happy hot rod gang. They unintentionally kill Duke while interrogating him. Tut puts a gun to Hazel's head and delivers an ultimatum - take them to the loot or join her husband!
