Plots(1)
Bottoms plays the title character, a Vietnam vet, in the psycho ward of a veterans' hospital. He will not come to grips with his problems but withdraws from the world, building himself a booby-trapped hideaway under a nearby highway ramp. Bottoms' hiding place, however, is discovered by the telephone company because he's been tapping emergency lines to make calls. Meanwhile, the vet falls in love with sympatheic nurse Hershey, with whom he hopes to run away to Canada. (official distributor synopsis)
