Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka

Kanji (Tetsuya Takeda) and Hiroshi (Tatsuo Nadaka) are two non-conformist Japanese tourists who have decided to see the American Southwest by thumbing their way through the area. Kanji has harbored two goals for a long time now: he wants a liaison with a blond woman and he would like to shoot a gun. Happily, he gets both wishes on this trip. Hiroshi is not so lucky -- he becomes a target for a female con artist and a man who finds him attractive. Avoiding the worst-case scenario, the two friends get to know Tammy (Leslie Winston), a young and pretty woman who has run away from home. They invite her to Tokyo to earn a living modeling and are willing to pay her way. Before those plans can be put into action, the duo are robbed of most of their cash and face an important decision: should they abandon Tammy and just go home, or stick with their plan of getting her to Tokyo?
