Summary
Wyatt and Billy are 'hippie' bikers who sell some dope in Southern California, stash their money away in their gas-tank and set off for a trip across America, on their own personal odyssey looking for a way to lead their lives. On the journey the two encounter bigotry and hatred from small-town communities who despise and fear their non-conformism. But, Wyatt and Billy also discover people attempting 'alternative lifestyles' who are resisting narrow-mindedness. When they arrive at a diner in a small town, they are insulted by the local rednecks. The local sheriff arrests them on some minor pretext and thrown in jail where they meet George Hanson, a liberal alcoholic lawyer. He gets them out and decides to join them on their trip to New Orleans in time for Mardi Gras
