After the death of her lover, Wilma McCoy (played by Angie Dickinson) takes over his bootlegging business to support herself and her daughters, Billy Jean and Elly May. However, she struggles with the operation due to competition from other bootleggers. Along comes Fred (William Shatner), a bank robber who convinces Wilma and her daughters to join him for his next big heist. Meanwhile, Wilma kidnaps the daughter of a millionaire in hopes of getting rich off the ransom money. The group travels across the country, pursued by both law enforcement and rival criminals.
