Inhaltsangabe: We were on the edge of the desert, near Barstow, when the drugs began to take hold...
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon.


Nevada, 1971: Raoul Duke und sein Anwalt Dr. Gonzo sind mit ihrem roten Cabrio unterwegs
nach Las Vegas. Für ein Magazin sollen sie dort von einem Autorennen in der Wüste berichten.
Doch für die beiden steckt hinter dem Ausflug sehr viel mehr als eine bloße Reportage.

Ausgerüstet mit jeder denkbaren Droge brechen sie auf zu ihrer Mission und lassen sich dabei
auch nicht von feindseligen Drogencops, dienstbewußten Highwaypolizisten, arroganten
Hotelangestellten und ständig wiederkehrenden Horrortrips unterkriegen.
