<P> The song is about a girl named Betty , who is asked by friends to confirm that she is dating Jimmy , the leader of a motorcycle gang , whose ring they see on Betty 's finger . After singing of love at first sight ( `` ( By the way , where 'd you meet him ? ) I met him at the candy store / He turned around and smiled at me / You get the picture ? / ( Yes , we see ) That 's when I fell for the Leader of the Pack '' ) , Betty 's heart turns to despair as she bemoans her parents ' disapproval . The parents claim Jimmy hails from `` the wrong side of town '' and ask Betty to tell Jimmy goodbye and find someone new . Betty reluctantly does as she is asked , and a crushed and tearful Jimmy speeds off on his motorcycle . Moments later , Betty 's pleas for Jimmy to slow down are in vain as Jimmy crashes on a rain - slicked surface and dies . </P>
