Duke Johnson travels to a small Southern hamlet with the express purpose of burying his brother. He learns following the funeral that he must remain for 60 days in order for the estate to be processed. Duke is persuaded to reopen his late brother's nightclub by a few locals, and soon the local redneck officers begin bullying Duke with threats of violence. Duke refuses to pay the payments they demand, and the unscrupulous officers threaten and abuse him and his woman companion Aretha. Rather than confront them alone, Duke contacts his old friend Roy. Roy takes a few friends to Bucktown, and together they bring the small town justice. Duke relaxes his guard after the redneck cops are out of the way. Then the situation spirals out of control once more. Duke must finally settle the score on his own.
