This is a movie about a seven year old girl who runs away from home by climbing into someone's car, and two convicts on the run whose car it is. They don't realize it, but they are accused of kidnapping because they want to make sure they get the reward offered for her. It has the flavor of O'Henry's "The Ransom for Red Chief" but with a few twists. Our convicts, Alvie and Boots (Mark Miller and Donavan Scott) are bunglers. Boots breaks Alvie out of prison just before he makes parole, he gets him a rabbit but Alvie is upset when he discovers it's road kill. Alvie responds, 'It's fresh meat." With the girl the next day, they take on the parenting role, something she didn't get from her parents who are too busy with meetings and business. Her father is running for Senate. This cute conversation takes place:
