Los Angeles police detectives Joe Friday and Pep Streebek are forced to work together to solve a series of bizarre thefts, including a pornographic magazine, a snake, and a load of chemicals. As they investigate, they uncover a cult called P.A.G.A.N., whose leader, Reverend Jonathan Whirley, is using the stolen items for a ritual sacrifice. The detectives infiltrate the cult's ceremony, save the intended victim, and disrupt the ritual.
