Gunny Rafferty (Alan Arkin) is a lonely ex-marine adrift in the sea of humanity known as Los Angeles. In the morning, he leaves his rundown apartment and drives his beat-up car to a boring, mind-numbing job. But today is going to be different when Gunny meets two footloose female drifters Mac and Frisbee (Sally Kellerman and Mackenzie Phillips) who cajole him into take a road trip to New Orleans. Resigning himself to the situation, Rafferty joins forces with this terrible twosome. On the road, their odyssey shifts into high gear as these lovable losers get into one comic misadventure after the other. Two of their victims, Charles Martin Smith (American Graffiti) and Harry Dean Staton (Paris, Texas) get humorously stung by the antics of consummate femme fatale/pool hustler Frisbee. Eventually romance brings Rafferty and Mac together. Even Frisbee's hostile attitude softens as these lost souls form a compassionate fondness for each other. Finishing their journey on a bittersweet, but hopeful note, director Dick Richards (co-producer of Tootsie) crafted a funny and tender twist on the "road movie" that celebrates the human spirit.
