Robert Lyons is Peter/Lucifer, an unlikeable low life who would rather sit around reading children's books than go to his law lectures at Harvard. He makes cross country trips for drug dealer John Lithgow, with more hair than he will ever have in subsequent roles. Lyons meets hippie bimbo chick Barbara Hershey in California, who despite top billing is wasted as a minor, undeveloped character. Barbara gets arrested in Boston. Lyons decides to blackmail the police to get her released. It all leads to a bloody shootout between strangers who we have not seen the entire film, set to inappropriate blues tunes by the Grateful Dead.
