Roffe is the leader and alpha male of the "Road Devils", the thoughest Raggare gang in town. When one of his valets named Bibban is seen hanging out with a middle aged guy in a bar, the Road Devils raid the place, whisk her away, and pelt her with mud and peat in a ditch, humiliating her and ruining her expensive dress. Later, Bibban meets a NiceGuy Raggare named Lasse, and opens up to him about her DarkAndTroubledPast of sexual exploitation. They fall instantly in love. Needless to say, Roffe isn't pleased when he finds out about this, and the stage is set for a showdown.

* HilariousInHindsight: As with most 50's movies about youth culture, the dialogue is filled with slang that's just silly now. Among other things, all female Raggare are referred to as "tjack" which means "drugs" in modern Swedish.

* ChekovsGun: "Norra Böjen", a very sudden turn on the mountain road leading to the Raggare hangout. Bibban says that it takes a skilled driver to pass it at high speed when she's being kidnapped from her date. Later [[spoiler: she crashes Roffes car against it, killing both of them.]]
