"Wilma McClatchie" (Angie Dickinson) is a single parent trying to raise two teenage daughters named "Billy Jean" (Susan Sennett) and "Polly" (Robbie Lee) during the Great Depression. As luck would have it, Polly has become betrothed and despite Wilma's objection the wedding is still going to take place. As a result Wilma creates a disturbance at the church which causes all three to escape with their bootlegging relative named "Uncle Barney" (Noble Willingham). Unfortunately, Uncle Barney is killed by federal agents not long afterward and so Wilma decides to continue his business in the meantime. One thing leads to another and soon Wilma, her daughters and two men, "Fred Diller" (Tom Skerritt) and "William J. Baxter" (William Shatner) are involved in a murder and robbery rampage extending from East Texas to the California coast. Anyway, I liked the performances of Angie Dickinson, William Shatner and Tom Skerritt but I thought the nudity and sex were a bit too plentiful and were more raunchy than actually sexy. Still, there was plenty of action and one unpredictable scenario after another which managed to keep it entertaining. Slightly above average.
