Two guys looking for a good time find more than they bargained for in this low-budget
action story laced with
comedy.
Chris Dixon (
Alan Vint) and his brother
Wayne (
Jesse Vint) are originally from Chicago, but when the two are scheduled to go into the Army together, they decide to spend their last two weeks before reporting for boot camp drifting through the South, chasing girls, drinking beer and raising a little hell. After picking up a pretty hitch-hiker,
Jenny Scott (
Cheryl Waters), who has tired of small-town life and has eyes for
Chris, a busted fuel pump strands the brothers in Macon, Georgia, where
Sheriff Reed Morgan (
Max Baer, Jr.) makes it clear they're not welcome to spend the night. Meanwhile, a pair of ex-cons on a crime spree have arrived in Macon, and they ransack
Morgan's house and murder his wife while the sheriff is picking up his son
Luke (
Lief Garrett) from military school. When their car breaks down again,
Chris,
Wayne and
Jenny spend the night in a nearby barn; what they don't know is they've ended up on the sheriff's property, and when he comes home and discovers his house is a crime scene, he assumes the worst after he finds
Chris and
Wayne.
Max Baer, Jr., who plays
Sheriff Morgan, also produced
Macon County Line and co-wrote the screenplay; the movie was a major box-office success on its original release in 1974 and sparked a new career behind the camera for the former
Beverly Hillbillies star.
