Mike teams up with mumbling old timer Ben to keep an eye on what is going on at the trucking company and to have meetings with other truckers. If you're not paying close enough attention, you'll think Mike and Ben are have gone to an AA meeting because there's folding chairs and a podium.
When he meets Karen at a bar, Mike tries to follow her when she leaves. Then he becomes super creepy and shows up at her motel room. When she asks him to leave, he hides outside the door until she opens it to check to make sure she's gone. Ahhh, the 70s... where men could be rape-y and women would fall for their supposed charm.
Things go from bad to worse. Mike is framed for having drugs in his truck. He discovers there is definitely corruption in the trucking industry and gangsters show up at inopportune times. Mike becomes a police informant and discovers Karen's father isn't a great guy. No one seems to notice that Karen appears to be wearing a bad wig.
Mike is played by Michael Hawkins who turns out to be Christian Slaters father. Mechanic Diesel Joe is played by Larry Drake who later played Dr. Giggles. Ben is played by Doodles Weaver.
