While driving to Dr. Scott's residence, they get a flat tire. With the spare also flat, they must walk back to a remote castle in the woods in hopes of finding a telephone. At the castle, Dr. Frank N. Furter (Curry), a gender-bending scientist from the planet Transsexual in the galaxy of Transylvania, is throwing a party to celebrate the creation of his new strongman playmate, Rocky Horror (Hinwood). Frank N. Furter immediately takes a sexual interest in both Janet and Brad which eventually leads the couple to question their loyalty to each other. To the despair of Dr. Furter, Rocky becomes more interested in Janet than him.

Dr. Scott's nephew Eddie (Meat Loaf), a motorcycle-riding rocker and delivery boy, has been captured in the castle by Dr. Furter, who apparently used him for the basis of Rocky's brain. Dr. Furter murders Eddie for his reckless behaviour, right in front of Janet, Brad, and all the guests of his house. Dr. Furter's groupie Columbia (Campbell), who loved Eddie and once loved Dr. Furter, has conflicting feelings about the two of them. Dr. Scott arrives at the castle looking for Eddie, and is soon at Frank's mercy. The servants of the castle, Magenta (Quinn) and Riff-Raff (O'Brien), release Brad, Janet, and Dr. Scott from the spell of the castle (not for any reasons of compassion; simply that they don't care about them), kill the others out of annoyance, and return home to their home planet of Transsexual. A criminologist (Gray) narrates the story and appears from time to time to provide commentary on the actions.
