Shortly thereafter, Johnny the Boy sabotages Goose's MFP motorcycle while Goose is shacked up with a singer he met at a cabaret. Bubba does so begrudgingly, because he hates Johnny for his rowdiness, lack of style and drug addiction, and hates the Toecutter's favoritism towards Johnny. The second-in-command of the biker group, Bubba Zanetti (Geoff Parry) arrives at the courthouse to pick up Johnny, on orders from the Toecutter. (Without the testimony of witnesses, no charges could be filed the courts declared "no contest" for the case.) A shocked Goose attacks Johnny and must be physically restrained both Goose and Johnny shout threats of revenge at each other.

However, when the attorneys arrive, Johnny is ordered released: the judge has set Johnny free because no witnesses showed up for the trial. Johnny is held at the MFP's dilapidated Halls of Justice pending a visit from the Court. However, they do not kill Johnny, but arrest him and drag him away in chains.
Johnny's drug-fueled rantings reveal him as a member of Nightrider's gang Goose looks on Johnny with particular disdain, as his leg was broken during the Nightrider pursuit. They find Toecutter's young protegé, Johnny the Boy (Tim Burns), and the girl from the car in the middle of the wreckage. Max and Goose are informed about the incident and go to the crime scene. While chewing up a town where the Nightrider's remains arrived by train, the gang brutalizes a civilian couple that tried escaping to the road the couple is overtaken, then both of them are raped and the car is wrecked.
Meanwhile, they vandalize property, steal fuel, and terrorize the citizenry. Nightrider's gang, which is led by Toecutter (Hugh Keays-Byrne), plans to avenge Nightrider's death by killing MFP officers. After the dangerous chase, Max' police chief, Fifi McAfee, warns Max that Nightrider's gang will be out for him now because of Nightrider's death. The Nightrider and his girlfriend die in a fiery crash. Max pursues Nightrider in a high-speed chase, first beating him in a game of Chicken and then catching up to him and hanging off his back bumper. Among those involved is a cocky motorcycle cop nicknamed Goose (Steve Bisley), who radios Max. MFP officers pursue the Nightrider in a high-speed chase that results in several serious wrecks. A member of one of the motorcycle gangs, Crawford Montazano (nicknamed "The Nightrider"), escapes from police custody by killing an officer and stealing his vehicle. The MFP's "top pursuit man" is a young police officer, Max Rockatansky (Mel Gibson), badge number MFP4073. (This is not explained in this film but in the sequel, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.) Central to the plot is a poorly-funded national police unit called the Main Force Patrol (MFP, derogatorily called "The Bronze" by their enemies), which struggles to protect the Outback's few remaining townspeople from violent motorcycle gangs. The film is set in the near future of a bleak, dystopian and impoverished Australia that is facing a breakdown of civil order primarily due to widespread oil shortages.
