[edit] Plot

Tilt, played by Brooke Shields, is a young pinball wizard who has thoughts of running away from home. Skipping school one day, Tilt decides to go to Mickey's Bar, where the owner helps set her up for a pinball game with an unaware gambler. As the easily hustled gambler loses, Neil (Ken Marshall) watches and is impressed with Tilt's talent. Neil tells Tilt that he is a hopeful country and western star and needs to raise money to make a demo tape of his songs. After hearing Neil's musical talent, she's impressed and agrees to help by traveling with him, raising cash with her pinball skill. When the two eventually end up back at Neil's former employer, "The Whale" (Charles Durning), Neil sets up a game between Tilt and him. However, Neil doesn't realize Tilt has caught on to his lies and manipulation, and his plans are not going to go as hoped.
