Plot Summary: Antonia Dyer is young and rich - an aristocatic beauty. But in private she is also a drug addict. Motorcycle messenger Mike Stone becomes involved with her when he delivers a package from Tony Vernon-Smith an aristocratic thug who can 'supply' anything - at a price. Ofcourse money is the one thing Antonia isn't short of. Stringer is a ruthless Drug Squad officer who becomes unhinged when he discovers that his daughter Sandy is also involved with Vernon-Smith's Chelsea drugs scene. A complex story unfolds.

Comments: Mad Dogs starts off well-A police raid of a local drug store, but after the first half an hour, it becomes incredibly boring. It focuses on the romance between a hard ass American biker and a lonely druggy. No-one really deserves any real recognition for this, but Jock Ackland is probably better than the rest. Elizabeth Hurley is patchy. In some scenes she does well, but in others you wonder why she is such a big success.
