David Carradine (The Long Riders, Kill Bill) and Brenda Vaccaro (Midnight Cowboy, Heart of Midnight) star in this action-packed comedy from legendary producer Roger Corman (The Raven, Bloody Mama). During the 1920s, World War I veteran and conman Charlie Swattle (Carradine) dreams of being the first person to win a transnational motorcycle race and enlists his comrades from the war to help. Romance and adventure ensues as Charlie meets sassy waitress Grace (Vaccaro) and her son as he pursues the big win on his classic Moonbeam motorbike. Action specialist Steve Carver (An Eye for an Eye, Lone Wolf McQuade, River of Death) directs this high-spirited cross-country escapade co-starring L.Q. Jones (The Wild Bunch), R.G. Armstrong (White Lightning), Terry Kiser (Weekend at Bernie’s) and Jesse Vint (Silent Running).
