A gang of hippie motorcycle bandits, The Purple Knights, kidnap a foreign prime minister. Though hippies, gang members speak in Olde English and attempt to be polite. While tossing the ambassador's aide out of a moving car, they tell him to "Fare Thee Well" and "Get Ye Lost!" Max and 99 become "Wheels" and "Legs" and join the gang. As part of their initiation, Max must win a jousting contest with Brute, the gang's leader. He defeats Brute and further enrages him by hitting on his girlfriend, Doll Baby. When their cover is blown, it is Doll Baby who saves Max from being drawn and quartered.
