Philo Beddoe is an easy-going trucker and a great fist-fighter. With two friends – Orville, who promotes prize-fights for him, and Clyde, the orangutan he won on a bet – he roams the San Fernando Valley in search of cold beer, country music and the occasional punch-up.
Philo takes part in a bare knuckle fight – as he does – to make some more money than he can earn from his car repair business. He decides to retire from fighting, but when the Mafia come along and arrange another fight, he is pushed into it. A motorcycle gang and an orangutan called Clyde all add to the ‘fun’.
