A young Air Force veteran, Carrol Jo Hummer (Jan-Michael Vincent, Baby Blue Marine, TVâs âAirwolfâ), starts in business as the owner-operator of a thirteen-speed, seven-and-one-half-ton diesel truck, which he âdresses upâ and names âThe Blue Mule.â With his bride, Jerri (Kay Lenz, Falling from Grace, Physical Evidence), he sets off to Tucson, Arizona, where his old friend Duane (Slim Pickens), the manager of a trucking company, gets him a job. But after Carrol Jo realizes he will be carrying illegal cargo and refuses the assignment, heâs beaten by a band of gangsters working for an organized group of criminals headed by Cutler (Don Porter, 711 Ocean Drive). When Carrol Joâs commitment to staying honest results in even further violent retribution from the trucking syndicate, he has no choice but to team up with other independent truckers to break Cutlerâs stranglehold and uphold the rights of the decent working man.
