Tanya Tucker

Small town girl Jodie Palmer aspires to a new life beyond Midland, Texas. Her boyfriend Kyle Richardson however, is content working at his factory job, and drinking with his friends. She becomes more determined than ever after her friend Caroline, now a successful country and western singer, comes home for a visit. Meanwhile, Kyle and his drunken buddies continue their rowdy nightly pranks. Jodie's chance to get away comes when she is accepted for stewardess training in Los Angeles. Events reach breaking point, when Kyle quits his factory job to work for his obnoxious brother selling mobile homes. However, when his brother makes a pass at Jodie, she decides to leave for Los Angeles. All alone, Kyle comes to his senses, and realises how much he really loves Jodie. He makes a mad run to the airport, overcomes security, and is finally reunited with Jodie.

Jan-Michael Vincent stars as Kyle Richardson, who works at a dead-end job in a Texas factory and spends his weekends at the local saloon with his buddies. His carousing exacts a toll on his relationship with Jodie Lynn Palmer (Kim Basinger, in her film debut). Finally, Jodie delivers an ultimatum: either settle down and get married, or she'll skeedaddle to California to try her luck as a country-western singer.
