The story
In early 1950s Florida, decorated World War II veteran Lucas "Luke" Jackson drunkenly beheads several parking meters.
Eventually, Dragline stops the fight, but Luke's tenacity earns the prisoners' respect and draws the guards' attention.
The prisoners start to idolize him after he wins a bet that he can eat 50 hard-boiled eggs in an hour.
