Joe Braxton (Pryor) is een schelm met een heel klein hartje. Hij staat bij de rechterlijke macht te boek als een onverbeterlijke boef. Omdat gevangenisstraf toch niet helpt, besluit men hem een bus met weeskinderen te laten rijden. De kinderen moeten naar hun vakantiebestemming worden gebracht. Het wordt een vakantie om nooit te vergeten. Vooral niet als de gevreesde Klu Klux Klan zich op zekere nacht weer eens wil laten gelden.
Nee, helaas is Bustin' Loose nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
