Synopsis

Paul lives in a disaster of an apartment and there is a girl walking around with not much on. But it's his roommate T.S. who is responsible for that; Paul is straight-laced and proper.

So Paul goes to work and is told by Senator Kitteridge to deliver his teen daughter to what is essentially a reform school. She has become too rebellious and it's time to teach her a lesson. The senator wants someone he can trust.

Robin is brought outside highly sedated and placed in Paul's care. But wait, he can't do the job alone. T.S. needs to come along.

Robin sobers up and soon shows signs of just why her father wanted to correct her behavior. Paul has such a hard time, and it's a good thing he has help driving. And every opportunity Robin gets, she takes off, with hilarious results.

Such as the truck driver who makes no secret of his Christian faith, though he seems anything but Christian as he defends Robin from these ruffians who are after her. Or so she says.

There is also a night in a motel, which involves more bad behavior from Robin.

Robin meets up with Missy, who is leaving her abusive boyfriend Junior. Actually, it's not clear which one is tougher. And they have fun, kind of like Thelma and Louise.

Meanwhile, the guys end up without a car and have to hitchhike. Things go from bad to worse when they meet up with Stu, a struggling salesman. Way out in the middle of nowhere the guys end up in their underwear in a swamp. But things are about to get a whole lot better.

No, it's not clear where they found clothes, or answers to any number of mysteries. but they do find an expensive car owned by a drunk loser whose Daddy has money. This might be the same Junior that Missy escaped.

Robin wants to meet her mother, who apparently abandoned her years ago. The mother explains that it's not as bad as her daughter thinks it is.
