country music.On the road, he meets an exotic singer, a redhead with green eyes named
Patsy. To complicate matters, she has her boyfriend with her, a man caught up in drugs.
The confusion starts as from a stopover at a cheap motel. The police enter on the scene
and Ralph and Patsy’s boyfriend wind up behind bars.She runs away, but all is
