A musician who is supposed to mend his ways ends up changing the habits of a group of fellow inmates in this
comedy.
Wesley Benfield (
William Lee Scott) is a guitar player with a habit of walking on the wrong side of the law. One night,
Benfield gets into a fistfight in a Missouri honky-tonk, and when police discover the car he drove to the club is stolen, it's not long before he finds himself standing before a judge.
Benfield is ordered to move into a half-way house near a small Baptist college, and as part of his therapy he joins in a small
gospel combo comprised of the house's residents. However,
Benfield is a lot more interested in playing the
blues; with a bit of persuading, he convinces his bandmates to pursue a new musical direction, and they start sneaking out at night to play shows at a local nightspot.
