Plots(1)
Billy Budduskey (Jack Nicholson), a hard bitten, wise-cracking, foul-mouthed, cynical, but professional Navy-man, given the loathsome job of escorting a very young sailor (Randy Quaid) to a military prison for a minor crime. Budduskey decides to give the young sailor a life-time of experience in just three days! (official distributor synopsis)
