Bikers, Nazis, Mafiosi, and the FBI all clash in this wild and wooly exploitation picture from director Al Adamson. Mark Adams (John Gabriel) is an FBI agent who has been assigned to infiltrate an organized crime ring that has obtained a set of printing plates that will allow them to produce nearly perfect counterfeit 20-dollar bills. The plates were made in Germany during World War II, and were discovered by a radical right-wing group hoping to restore the Nazi Party to power. The American gangsters are in cahoots with a group of wealthy American neo-Nazis sympathetic to the new German cause, led by fugitive war criminal Count von Delberg (Kent Taylor); the count has in turn recruited a vicious motorcycle gang, the Bloody Devils, to do his dirty work.

Count Otton von Delberg is trying to sell counterfeit bills to fund a resurgent Nazi party. An organized crime syndicate has sent Mark Adams to make a deal for the bills, unaware that he's also a double agent for the FBI. Adams is also a renowned lady's man, but whether it's teenage jailbait or the loyal daughter of a Nazi war criminal, he's meeting all the wrong ladies. Despite being released after Adamson's Hell's Bloody Devils (which added bikers to capitalize on the biker movie craze), this was actually the original version of the movie completed in 1970 but later released on television in 1972. It was released again with minor edits in Europe in 1974 under the title Smashing the Crime Syndicate.
