At the heart of "The Pom Pom Girls" (a.k.a., "Ruthless Renegade") is Audrey Anderson, who tries out for and wins a slot on the cheerleading team for a professional basketball franchise, the Los Angeles Renegades. She soon begins a romantic relationship with the superstar point guard of the team, Walter "LeBron" James. Then, two of the cheerleaders, Bailey and Tracey, are murdered. Audrey senses that she may be the next victim.
With some lively dance routines and a wide range of bizarre characters, the film was a compelling watch. Audrey's new romantic interest, Walter, was an intriguing character with a background in the Bahai religion in which he made a vow of celibacy until marriage. For this reason, Bailey broke off her relationship with Walter shortly before her murder. When Walter is investigated by the police for the murder, Audrey takes it upon herself to play the sleuth.
Audrey's quest leads her to a sleazy janitor, Lou, who has a criminal record. Even more troubling was that he evidently was obsessed with Bailey and she (to some unexplained degree) returned his affection! Coach Cassie is also suspicious in that she recently had a falling out with Bailey. The owners of the franchise, Michael and Nora McConnell, are also suspects, due especially to Michael's philandering with a string of members of the cheerleading squad.
The quick-thinking Audrey observes the peculiar physical mannerisms of Nora, leading to the conclusion that she is suffering from delusional behavior. The filmmakers effectively developed Nora's "visions" that clouded her judgment and resulted in her losing touch with reality.
Nora and Audrey were a study in contrasts. Due to the solid upbringing she received from her mother Jessica, Audrey has an astute awareness of her environment. Almost instantly, she perceived the toxicity of the Renegade ownership. Her near encounter with tragedy led Audrey to conclude that her future did not lie in cheerleading or the entertainment business. Instead, the Renegade girl vows to make her calling in law enforcement as a detective!
