Eddie Delano is an underachieving, recalcitrant young man desperate to avoid lifes absurdities and cursed to experience them in total. His sidesplitting quest begins in war-torn Vietnam but moves quickly to rural California and a circus-like college campus filled with oddball professors, rabid womens libbers and misguided leaders of the social revolution. His helpers and guides include the ultimate con man, a stoned-out hippie, and the wicked woman of his dark desires. Despite their shenanigans and the obstacles provided by the comically inept sheriffs detectives and the maniacal vegetarians of Baba Rama, Eddie finds his treasure. Or does he?
