Synopsis
W.W. is an easy-going thief who makes a living holding up gas stations at their drive-up windows. The Dixie Dancekings are a country band who are looking for their big break. When W.W. hijacks the band's car, he tries to get them to help him with his next bank job, but the group resists until they find out how much money is involved. The relationship becomes mutually beneficial when the Dancekings help W.W. to finance their break into show business, and W.W. grows to like the band and uses his charm to help them on their way.
