Vietnam-Kämpfer Phil bringt den Leichnam seines gestorbenen schwarzen Kumpels Lenny nach Hause und versucht dessen weiße Freundin und seine Motorrad-Kumpels dazu zu überreden, auf seinem Begräbnis zu erscheinen.

While in Vietnam, a GI promises his dying buddy that he'll take care of his motorcycle, "Baby", when he gets back home. After his discharge, he meets up with his dead friend's girlfriend, gets the bike, and then runs into trouble from some other bikers who don't like the idea of his having the motorcycle or the girl.
