This film essentially begins with the "Governor" (played by Mike Douglas) of a Southern state lamenting the fact that crime in Dunston County is wrecking his political chances for further advancement. And the one person orchestrating much of this criminal activity is a vicious crime boss by the name of "Bama McCall" (Jerry Reed). Having tried everything he can think of he turns to a federal agent from New York City named "Irving Greenfield" (Jack Weston) who tells him that the solution to the problem is to get an informant planted inside of Bama's organization. Not only that, but he has the perfect candidate for the job: a moonshiner by the name of "Gator McCluskey" (Burt Reynolds) who also happens to be a "2-time loser" and if apprehended again for another crime would face a long prison sentence. But first they have to venture into the Okefenokee Swamp and catch him. And that's a difficult task in and of itself. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this sequel to "White Lightning" was just as good-if not better-than the original film. I especially liked the acting of Jerry Reed who I thought put in an excellent performance. That being said, I enjoyed this film and have rated it accordingly. Above average.
