Постоянный «гвоздь программы» новостей телестанции UBS-TV Говард Били погорел: во время прямого эфира у него случился нервный срыв. По иронии, публичное бесчинство подняло его и без того баснословный рейтинг, к неожиданному ликованию боссов UBS. Как следствие, прославившись «безумным пророком прямого эфира», вскоре он превратился в пешку для безжалостного теленачальства, которое выдаивало из него сумасшедшие выходки при любом удобном случае. Само собой, когда «пророк» стал не в прок, с ним надо было срочно что-то решать, желательно перед камерой, и при полной аудитории.

After Billy Jack undergoes a vision quest, the governor and the police plot to permanently put an end to their liberal shenanigans, leaving it up to Billy Jack to save the day.
