Three draft age boys are caught with marijuana during the Vietnam War Era. The judge hates "Hippies" so sentences them to prison. They are on a prison bus going to prison. The bus driver must go to the bathroom so he stops at a remote and poorly maintained wayside to use the outhouse. The outhouse floor is rotted and so the driver falls through killing him. The driver had failed to set the parking brake on the prison bus. So the bus rolls down the highway falling into and down a canyon. After some minor trouble the three boys free themselves and discover that the driver is dead. Then they discover that the bus had rolled onto an air bases property. They decide to steal uniforms, board a plane going to Vietnam, and get off in the Philippines. Since they are not on the passenger list they will make a clean get away. The three boys knowing nothing about air force planes get on a B 52 bomber instead of a troop passenger plane. The B 52 bomber crew quickly figure out that their new crew members know nothing about working on a bomber crew. The three boys having been found out then take over the bomber with the plan to Hijack the bomber to Cuba. When they figure out that the United States will never let them take a nuclear bomb to Cuba they give up the plan. All the bomber crew except the pilot decide to escape and parachute out. The movie ends with the bomber airlessly flying over the United States.
