Plot

Pulling a few strings supplied by his boss Mr. Carlson (Gordon Jump), Andy (Gary Sandy) manages to book the English punk band "Scum of the Earth" for a Cincinnati concert. Though forewarned that the group is infamous for physically assaulting their audiences, Andy is convinced that "The Scum"'s hoodlum reputation is merely an act--but he's wrong, wrong, wrong! The real-life rock group Detective provides the music for "Scum of the Earth" with the songs "Got Enough Love" and "Betcha Can't Dance", while one of the members of Detective, Michael Des Barres, appears on-camera as "Dog" (ironically Des Barres would later costar as morning-drive deejay Jack Allen on the syndicated spinoff The New WKRP in Cincinnati). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
