Im Bus lernt sie einen Farbigen kennen, der sich auf der Flucht vor der Polizei befindet, weil er seine kleine Tochter aus einem Heim entführt hat. Fast ist es Lurene, die ihn verpfeift, doch dann kommt es zu einem überraschenden Bündnis und eine gemeinsame Flucht durch den rassistischen Süden der USA.
In einem subtil inszenierten Film läßt Jonathan Kaplan noch einmal das vermeintlich liberale Amerika der Kennedy-Ära auferstehen.
