Three thrill-seeking go-go dancers, [[DumbBlonde Billie]], [[TeamMom Rosie]] and their leader, [[TheVamp Varla]], encounter a young couple in the desert while drag racing. After killing the boyfriend with her bare hands, Varla drugs, [[BoundAndGagged binds, gags]] and kidnaps his girlfriend, [[TheIngenue Linda]]. On a desolate highway, the four stop at a gas station, where they see an [[DirtyOldMan old man]] and his [[MrFanservice muscular]], [[BrainlessBeauty dimwitted]] son, known as [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname the Vegetable]]. The gas station attendant tells the women that the old man and his two sons live on a decrepit ranch with a hidden cache of money. Intrigued, Varla hatches a scheme to rob the lecherous old man, who is confined to a wheelchair. Unfortunately, the old man and his son prove to be less harmless than first thought, putting the two sides in a life or death struggle.

"Faster Pussycat Kill Kill" is a film that is considered by many to be Russ Meyer's magnum opus, despite being rather tame compared to many of Meyer's later films. The film was only a moderate hit in theaters, as Meyers ironically opted to downplay the sexual elements of gratuitous nudity and sex in the film. But it quickly became a cult hit, enduring as Meyer's most notable film in his filmography.
