A notorious moonshiner has to choose between yet another prison sentence and helping the law infiltrate an old friend's criminal gang. Action adventure sequel to White Lightning, directed by and starring Burt Reynolds. With Lauren Hutton, Jack Weston and Jerry Reed.

After his release from prison, notorious ex-con and moonshine distiller Gator McKlusky moves in with his father in a cabin in the Okefenokee Swamp. His bootlegging plans are cut short, however, when a federal agent tells McKlusky that he will lose custody of his 9-year-old daughter unless he helps bring down local crime lord Bama McCall. McKlusky enlists the help of reporter Aggie Maybank and a few local eccentrics to bring down McCall's empire.
