Sweet Pea Atkinson plays a Detroit gambler and shameless womanizer who runs up a string of trouble. As his world crumbles, he flees to the comfort of the local opium den, where he's confronted by Kris Kristofferson, who Was describes as "the ghost of Hank Williams or some other such apparition." Set to a soulful score by the Orquestra Was.
