Summary
Tired of having nowhere to go for fun, Kate (Tiffany Helm), her brother Ricky (Robert Jayne), and friends Bobbi (Gina Battist), Danny (Eric Gurry) and Val (Marc Price) lease a dilapidated nightclub called The Zoo from an old drunk named Leatherface (Ben Vereen). The Zoo becomes their home away from home and an overnight success until the Donnelly Clan catches wind of it.
Little Joe Donnelly (Jackie Earle Haley) and his brawny, but dimwitted twin brothers are a walking, talking trio of nuisance; where they go, trouble is sure to follow. And when they enter The Zoo ripe for a fight, a fight is just what they get. They have pushed The Zoo Gang too far and the battle for the club is on. Will the Gang be able to save their new found club from the greedy hands of the Donnelly clan?
