YOU CANNOT FIND BETTER QUALITY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!
Norwood Pratt (Campbell) has just finished his enlistment in the United States Marine Corps and is on his way home from Vietnam. A musician, his one great ambition is to appear on the radio program Louisiana Hayride.
Along the way, Norwood meets a variety of characters, including a flim-flam man (Pat Hingle), a jaded would-be starlet (Tisha Sterling) and his Marine buddy Joe Reese (Namath).
However, the most important person that he meets is Rita Lee Chipman (Darby), the "right kind of girl," who is unfortunately an unwed, soon-to-be mother (in an age when this was not very common and considered somewhat shameful). Nevertheless, they form a bond and she supports him and is there when Norwood finally reaches the KWKH studio to find out if dreams do come true. A funny, well-acted and very enjoyable movie for all...
