Next she looks up the parody stud (John Belushi) who sexually humiliated her in high school, and finds a way of getting even. At her final destination she finds not an old flame (he has been killed in Viet Nam) but his almost psychotic younger brother (Keith Carradine), who has taken the blame for his brother's death on himself.
