Plot
Married small-time crooks Lou-Jean (Goldie Hawn) and Clovis Poplin (William Atherton) lose their baby to the state of Texas and decide to do whatever it takes to get him back. Lou-Jean breaks Clovis out of prison, and the two steal their son from his foster family, taking a highway patrolman hostage. As a massive dragnet begins to chase them across Texas, the couple become unlikely folk heroes and even begin to befriend the captive cop.
