A group of misfits decide to leave for a place that they can all be free. Their mode of transportation is a PBY flying boat.

Oddball drama about outcasts (Sutherland, Boyle and Fonda) starts shaky, but finds its footing

A group of misfits in the Oakland area hang out in a junkyard and an abandoned airstrip. They come up with the harebrained scheme of repairing a PBY Catalina flying boat and escaping their troubles. Donald Sutherland plays the black sheep brother of a district attorney (Howard Hesseman) while Jane Fonda is on hand as a high-priced prostitute sorta romanced by the former. Meanwhile Peter Boyle plays an eccentric bloke who used to work in the circus. John Savage is also on hand.
