An ambitious trio of inner-city high school grads tries to hit the big time by turning a run-down country hotel into a rock & roll resort with around-the-clock music and live entertainment. Standing in their way are fearful townsfolk, unscrupulous businessmen and the tax collector, all threatening to bring the curtain down on the teens' aspirations. But this is one threesome who refuses to give up on their lifelong goal without a fight — and a song.

A flash flood sweeps a boy and his sister onto an island in the Mississippi River, where they are trapped with a cougar and her new born cubs. In an effort to escape the island, they find themselves threatened by two ruthless river-men who will stop at nothing to kidnap and hold the children for ransom.
