After his successful hijack, D.B. Cooper lands and becomes a hero of sorts in popular culture. Just as he returns to his life, two men who think they know who D.B. Cooper really is begin their pursuit.

In this unusual road movie, a mentally retarded man, trying to hitchhike home, meets up with a small-time stick-up woman. She protects him from the dangers of the highway, and they become close friends, sharing their deepest secrets and helping each other come to terms with death.

Richard Pryor plays three roles - a beleaguered, sex-starved farm worker named Leroy Jones; the farm worker's randy old father Rufus; and the hypocritical town preacher Rev. Lenox Thomas - and Pryor has never been so outrageously funny. The lives and love lives of these three men cross and crisscross as Leroy tries to get his life back on track. The fun kicks into high gear when Leroy moves from labor to management. He tries to juggle his wife and his girlfriend, but the only peace he can find is in the arms of the Reverend's wife! It's a case of too many women and too little time. No wonder he doesn't know Which Way Is Up?
