Loren and Abby (Lori Laughlin) are a teenaged brother and sister who move to Florida to live and work in Santa's Funland, an amusement park their uncle is restoring. At their new high school a gang of local punks are attracted to Abby and continue to harass her and her brother. When Loren fights back, the violence escalates from fist fights to guns ending in a climactic showdown at the amusement park where Abby escaped after the gang kidnapped her. The gang tries to kill her with their rifles but she gets away. Loren starts booby trapping some of the rides to fight back. One of the gunmen follows Abby into Santa's House of Mirrors, a vintage attraction with well-worn mirrors. After a slow, silent, tense pursuit, the boy shoots his rifle at Abby's reflection in a mirror, which gives her time to rush up behind him and push him through one of the mirrors and he crashes through the glass to the outside. Abby then runs outside where the others fire at her. Loren jumps to the ground from the roof of the mirror house to distract their fire. The scene starts at about 1:15:45.
