Plot summary
Three squads of cheerleaders, fifteen girls in all, are on their way to a state competition in Sacramento. At a roadblock, a man dressed as a police officer brings their bus to a halt, and the people behind him take the cheerleaders prisoner. The group's leader is Wayne Mathews, who was a star quarterback until an arm injury ended his career. With his younger brother Billy and the other former football players, he brings the girls to a secluded cabin and plans to demand a two-million-dollar ransom for their return. Debbie is the lead cheerleader among the captives. Some of the more aggressive members of the group want to treat the girls harshly, and Wayne tries to stop them.
