Short description

Upon arriving to a small town, a drifter quickly gets into trouble with the local authorities — and the local women — after he robs a bank.

What's left behind the scenes

Director Dennis Hopper blamed the film's box office failure on the lead stars, Don Johnson and Virginia Madsen, who he believed did nothing to promote the film. Johnson later stated that he didn't have time for it because he was filming "Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man." And Madsen, according to Hopper, was too embarrassed due to the large number of explicit scenes she was in.
