[edit] Plot
Randy Jensen (Ringwald) is a smart, independent tour guide who beats womanizer Jack Jericho (Downey) at his own game. Her indifference, of course, only causes him to become smitten with her. Randy is too busy trying to keep her alcoholic gambler father, Flash Jensen (Dennis Hopper), out of harm's way to get into a serious relationship. But Jack's persistence soon pays off when he offers to help rescue Randy's dad from the mob.
