	Three thrill-seeking go-go dancers—Billie ([[Lori Williams]]), Rosie (Haji]]), and their leader, Varla ([[Tura Satana]])—encounter a young couple in the desert while racing their sports cars. After killing the boyfriend (Ray Barlow) with her bare hands, Varla drugs, binds, gags and kidnaps his girlfriend, Linda ([[Susan Bernard]]). On a desolate highway, the four stop at a gas station, where they see an old man (Stuart Lancaster) and his muscular, dimwitted son, Vegetable ([[Dennis Busch]]). The gas station attendant ([[Mickey Foxx]]) tells the women that the old man and his two sons live on a decrepit ranch with a hidden cache of money. Intrigued, Varla hatches a scheme to rob the lecherous old man, who uses a wheelchair.

	On its first national release, ''Variety'' gave ''Faster, Pussycat! Kill!

	''Variety'' judged that the script was the weakest aspect of the production, though Meyer's direction was called "very good" and his editing "outstanding". Perhaps indicating that the mainstream Hollywood community was taking an interest in Meyer's work, the review comments, "it is obvious that Meyer has a directorial talent which belongs in bigger and stronger films. His visual sense is outstanding... Meyer's editing has a zest and polish which, without being obvious post-production gimmickry, lends proper pace and emphasis."<ref name="variety"/>		''Variety'' judged that the script was the weakest aspect of the production, though Meyer's direction was called "very good" and his editing "outstanding".
