Under the Hula Moon

Buzz and Betty live in a trailer in the desert outside Cactus Gulch, Arizona. Buzz dreams of making money from his Cammo sunscreen and moving to Hawaii. In a moment of despair, Buzz sees a vision of the ghost King Kamehameha who tells him he will embark on a perilous journey that reveals his destiny. The vision foreshadows the strange adventure that begins to unfold.

Turk Dickson escapes from prison and heads toward the desert town of Cactus Gulch. He is completely deranged and determined to seize anything of value. His arrival sets a violent chain of events in motion.

Turk arrives at Buzz and Betty's trailer and threatens the couple for their money. He gags Buzz and makes a crude attempt on Betty, illustrating how dangerous he is. The couple's fragile security collapses in an instant.

Betty wins a prize of $10,000 from a magazine, a moment that Turk exploits by impersonating Buzz to claim the check. The deception heightens the tension and shows Turk's willingness to manipulate others. Buzz remains bound and bleeding, unable to stop him.

Turk kidnaps Betty, leaving Buzz bound and wounded in the trailer. The kidnapping abruptly upends their lives and sets the rescue mission in motion. Betty's fate hangs in the balance as the search begins.

Maya Gundinger, Buzz's ex-girlfriend and a reporter, sees Betty's supposed win on TV and realizes the man on screen is not Buzz. She locates Buzz in his trailer, frees him from Turk's grip, and joins the effort to rescue Betty. Her presence adds a film crew perspective to the journey.

Buzz and Maya hit the road to rescue Betty. Maya insists on filming everything, which irritates Buzz but also documents their perilous quest. On the road, Buzz faces dangerous choices and demonstrates his bravery, guided by Kamehameha's spirit.

Turk ditches his car at the Mexican border and walks through the desert with Betty until they reach a saloon. The pursuit tightens as the distance between captor and rescuer narrows. The confrontation tests Buzz's resolve.

Buzz and Maya arrive at the saloon and confront Turk's gang. Buzz persuades the thugs to face Turk rather than shooting on sight. The uneasy stand off raises the stakes for the rescue.

Buzz engages Turk in a brutal fight and nearly chokes him to death. The spirit of Kamehameha intervenes, disapproving of killing, and the floor collapses into a hidden underground DEA base. Turk is arrested, ending the immediate danger.

Buzz and Betty return home and take jobs as burger flippers, resuming their ordinary lives. Maya's coverage keeps the Turk case in the headlines for weeks, ensuring the ordeal remains a public memory. The couple begins to rebuild a sense of normalcy.

Thanks to Maya's coverage, the Turk case becomes headlining news for weeks and Cammo attracts attention. The United States Marine Corps expresses interest in buying Buzz's Cammo sunscreen, signaling serious commercial potential. The couple's fortunes begin to shift toward a larger market.

Sales of Cammo surge and Buzz and Betty finally move to Hawaii to live their dream. The success of the invention transforms their finances and future prospects. The couple embraces a new chapter of life far from their desert beginnings.

In the final shot, Buzz and Betty sail into the sunset on an outrigger canoe with their new son, Buzz Jr. The image symbolizes a peaceful and hopeful culmination of their journey. Hawaii provides the backdrop for a fresh family life.
