Output: Dude, a 1950s greaser, engages in a highspeed chase with the local cops, Sarge and his unnamed partner. After Dude causes their car to crash in a game of chicken, he joins his girlfriend Donna at a club. Donna does not enjoy the loud rock music preferred by Dude, and she is annoyed that he has made her wait. After they dance, Dudes friend Nixer joins them, much to Donnas annoyance. As they cruise around town and try to decide what to do, they run into Teddy, a rival greaser, and his friends. After exchanging insults, the two groups engage in a drag race. When Dude flicks his cigarette at the other car, it lands in Teddys girlfriends hair and sets it on fire. Teddys car swerves and loses the race as the occupants attempt to put out the fire. Teddy and his friends swear revenge, and Dude drives off. When he later sees Dude, Sarge threatens to arrest him but says that he is content to wait for a charge that will result in Dudes incarceration. Sarge privately berates his son, Teddy, for letting Dude make a fool of him and says that Teddy must get the situation under control before others begin to question Teddys authority – and Sarges own by extension. Teddy later confronts Dude and Nixer at J. T.s diner, but J. T. defuses the situation. When Teddy challenges Dude to a street fight, one of Teddys friends reminds him that he has set up a date with his girlfriend, who is his friends sister. Teddy is forced to delay the fight, and Dude sets a date with Donna at the same roller rink. Annoyed to find Dude there, Teddy attempts to start a fight with him, only to end up embarrassed when Dude uses his hair gel to cause Teddy and his friends to crash. Dude, Nixer, and Donna go to see Nixers favorite film, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and they later discuss the films themes at J. T.s diner. J. T. tells them that they must be ready to seize opportunities when they present themselves, as they may not get another chance. Like Invasions protagonist, they may find themselves stuck in a situation with no escape. Donna urges Dude to take advantage of his interest in music, and Dude casually inquires about trying out for a local band that he enjoys. Although he does not commit to an audition, he becomes excited about the possibility of escaping his small town. Meanwhile, Teddy again confronts Dude at J. T.s diner after sexually harassing Donna. Donna initially tries to talk Dude out of a fight but stops when Teddy continues to harass her. Sarge breaks up the two before they can engage in a switchblade fight in public. Fed up with Teddys failure to take care of Dude, Sarge hands him a pistol and tells him that he must resolve the situation by that night. Sarge tells him to do it privately, so that he will not be implicated in the murder. Dude is torn between fighting Teddy and auditioning for the band, and both Donna and Nixer attempt to convince him to ignore Teddy. Dude finally decides to audition for the band, but when he shows up, he finds that they have sold out and now play bland pop music. Angry, he leaves the club, only to be confronted by Teddy, who wounds him as he flees. Dude returns home to fetch a shotgun, and he kills Teddy. As he prepares to leave town, Dude says goodbye to both Donna and Nixer. Having learned about his sons death, Sarge attempts to kill Dude, but Dude causes a fatal car crash by shooting out Sarges tires. Dude drives on with a sinister smile on his face.
