Spoilers This movie is in the mold of Thelma and Louise without male bashing. Two women lose their moon shining father to the thoughtlessness of a self centered sheriff's deputy. The two daughters lose everything and head toward poverty. Then the movie has a very distinct turning point, when the daughter, Dixie, played by beautiful Jane Anne Johnstone promises Patsy, the second daughter, that things are gonna turn around. This was my biggest problem with the movie is that it telegraphs the rest of the plot with that line.
What follows is the women begin to exact revenge on all who wronged them and their father. They exact revenge on the Sheriff's Deputy and begin a crime spree and finish by pulling off a big robbery against the bank that set up the killing of their father. They get away with the money and their man friend.
I found Dixie believable and likable. Kathy McHaley was also very believable in her part as the second daughter Patsy. Warren Oates played a good part as Mack, who is their male friend mentioned above. At one point there is a memorable scene when Dixie in her own way, lets Mack know that things have changed a little around these parts, sweetheart!
