Although he is living an almost idealized existence, when the sudden death of a big-time rock singer occurs, Fairlane starts experiencing problems. It's not with the opposite sex, or getting into clubs, or looking good and driving a fast car. He always wanted to be a big-time rock star and here, he seems to be living a life as close as possible, without actually playing the music. One of his biggest current problems is, despite all his impressive efforts, he's not making any actual money. All his rock star clientele pay him with autographed pictures, drum sticks, koala bears, food processors, CD players and bicycle shorts. Another one of them is that all his employers want him to find a girl named Zuzu Petals. He has his hands full investigating a murder, and is watching over a kid of the presumed missing man while investigating. A pompous record exec, a seductress, a foul-mouthed DJ, a bitter police lieutenant, a brain-dead groupie, a scuzzy killer... where will it all lead?

Ford Fairlane, "Rock n' Roll Detective," is seen sitting on a beach smoking as the film opens, recalling the events that led up to his current situation. A flashback initiates, showing a roaring crowd at a concert as the fictional popular heavy metal band The Black Plague. Lead singer Bobby Black (Vince Neil) makes an eccentric entrance down a zip-line onto the stage and begins performing after a fury of pyrotechnic fire which engulfed him as he arrived on stage is extinguished. Short into one of the band's songs, Bobby Black collapses on stage and dies.

The flashback ends and Ford Fairlane is seen entering the popular club Greed. He receives many positive looks from women as he's entering the club. Ford is greeted by two women, giving one of them his number (she thinks the number is fake since it starts with 555, and he laughs it off, asking her if she thinks this is real life). In the course of his adventure we find Ford Fairlane is crude, rude and cool. Rock n' Roll is his beat and Fairlane is one detective as seamy as the industry he investigates. After The Black Plague singer is murdered onstage, a shock-jock named Johnny Crunch (an old friend who came west with Fairlane) hires Ford to track down a mysterious teenage groupie named Zuzu Petals, who may have a connection to Bobby Black's death.

Part of the film The Adventures of Ford Fairlane was filmed at Red Rocks Amphitheater. Opening sequences feature the fictional rock band "Black Plague" playing at Red Rocks Amphitheater where lead singer Bobby Black (played by Vince Neil) makes a grand entrance hanging from the rock face of the landmark red rocks above the crowd swooping on stage via zipline. Here at Red Rocks Amphtheater you can get the sensation of music live concerts. There are places similar with their own styles.
