Plot Overview

Hot Rods from Heck starts out with the Douglas family driving through the desert to Grandpa's house, when all of a sudden they're run off the road by two robots in hot rods driving the wrong way. It is quickly revealed that Longhorn was behind the assault. However, it turns out that it wasn't the Douglases that were his target at all, they were practice for the real target--a Titan II missile being transported by the military. With the missile, he intends to hold Nashville hostage, demanding that they give him a recording contract or else. After being distracted with prospects of a bear riding a motorcycle, Freakazoid goes to the Freakalair to get a Freakacar to pursue Longhorn. Freakazoid makes short work of the hot rods by crushing one with a piece of the Great Wall of China and showing the other one 7 hours of Tony Danza. Freakazoid enters into a high speed land, sea and air chase until Freakazoid forgets that his car can't operate under water. Freakazoid stops Longhorn by leading him to Wrigley Field during the 7th Inning Stretch. While Longhorn is distracted with singing, Freakazoid ties him up and sends him to jail.

In A Time For Evil, the Huntsman goes to the police precinct in order to fight crime. Unfortunately, there is no crime to fight and he goes to see his brother. The end.
