The outlaws take her to a distant planet in hopes of getting big dough from her bakery tycoon father, but all hell breaks loose when they discover their leader has his own plans for the hostage and the ransom.

Critics' reviews
- "Whatever bizarre charm the film first possessed becomes engulfed in unfunny sick humor."
- "Despite the promising premise and frantic energy, the film is nowhere near as much fun as it needs to be to grab the viewer."
