Woody Harrelson plays a former bowling champ who lost his hand thanks to double-crossing Bill Murray. Reduced to a small-time hustler with a walnut-whip hairdo, Harrelson gets a chance to improve his circumstances when he comes across talented Amish lad Randy Quaid, and, together with the beautiful Vanessa Angel, they head out to beat the now also dodgily-coiffed Murray in the national bowling championship.
