Successful businessman Alvin Hall, who grew up on a small farm on the Florida Panhandle, reveals his childhood dream. Hitchhiker Paul Teodo's hot temper helps him out of a profoundly dangerous situation when he's picked up by an infamous driver. Exchange student Asam Thurman experiences Japanese mosh pit etiquette.
