Having broken down on the side of a cold lonely road, newly engaged Brad (Barry Bostwick) and Janet (Susan Saradon) go in search of shelter and a phone. Their only rescue lies within a forboding castle that bears the warning "Enter at your own risk". Hoping for help, Brad and Janet find themselves caught up in the insane antics of mad scientist, Dr. Fran-n-furter (Tim Curry) and his servants (Richard O'Brien, Patricia Quinn, Little Nell) as he attempts to create the perfect man, Rocky Horror. Murder and mayhem ensue.
