The film is a comedy set during the Vietnam War. Three boys are sentenced to prison for using cannabis, by a judge who views them as Hippies. The bus transporting them to prison falls down a canyon, and the surviving prisoners find themselves in an Air Force base with troops waiting for transport to Vietnam. The prisoners attempt to blend in with the troops, but unwittingly board a Boeing B-52 Stratofortress. They attempt to hijack the aircraft, causing most of the crew to parachute out. By the end of the film, the bomber wanders aimlessly over the United States.
