Plot

Idiotic, alcoholic driving instructor and former Marine Corps sergeant Rafferty (Alan Arkin) lives in poverty near Hollywood, California. He allows two young female hitchhikers, (Sally Kellerman and Mackenzie Phillips) who are seeking to reach New Orleans (as one of them is an aspiring singer) to kidnap him. He eventually enjoys their company, and the three take a road trip to Las Vegas and end up in Tucson, Arizona, with many misadventures and scams to finance their trip along the way.
