Once again hitting the road to re-unite the band and win the big prize at the New Orleans Battle of the Bands, Elwood is pursued cross-country by the cops, led by Cabel the Curtis' son (and Elwood's step-brother), the Russian Mafia, and a militia group. On his new "mission from God" Elwood enlists the help of a young orphan, and a strip club bartender.

Listen, Matt. You ain't all of that, cat.

And Elwood, you ain't no good.

Matt, this is something

I really don't want you to do.

For heaven's sake, if this is what

you'll be like to live with, go ahead.

Thanks, baby.

Let's go.

Elwood...

...you boys,

please stay out of trouble this time.

Today's topic:
Automatic life terms

for three-time felony offenders.

Let us hear your opinion.

You're on the air.

I am not in favor

of this triple felony legislation.

Why?

I'm a recently released inmate,

starting a new life...

...but with a five-felony record...

I think I know that voice.

What chance do I have

if I make one more mistake?

One more time, I could go down for life.

It's not fair.

My question is, how can you goddamn...

...sh*t-spewing media sluts...

Thank you. Now a commercial.

Steve, that sounded a lot like...

Elwood J. Blues.

No place to run.

And no place to hide.

I know your trumpet player's

a funeral director now.

But cemeteries give me the creeps.

He'll be the most difficult. Follow my lead.

Lay to rest Nicholas Tsetsevkaya.

A young man cut down too soon...

...by violent enemies.

Will you get lost?

Do you know who these people are?

Who's he?

What's with the monkey?

That's my associate, Buster Blues.

This is Mighty Mack, my new lead singer.

So, that's what this is about?

Forget it. Goodbye.

Mr. Fabulous...

...when should we come back for the rings

and watch off the corpse?

And is the medical school buying his dick?

We're dead now.

Since I've been working for Ed

and Mr. Pickett, I haven't looked back.

These guys are amazing.

What do you want, Elwood?

I'm putting the band back together.

We need Murph on the keyboards.

I see.

I won't go without your say-so.

Murph says you're in publishing,

telephone sales and matrimonial services?

Yes, we are.

Just what is it that you do exactly?

I'm 18 years old. I'm blonde.

I'm 36-24-36, and my name is Bambi.

"If you need a little lovin'

"Call on me

"If you want some kissin'

"That's my number

"Oh, I'll be right there

"Just as soon as I can

"If I be a little bit late

"I hope that you'll understand

"If you need a little lovin'

"You can call on me

"If you want some of my kissin'

"Call on me

"No more lonely nights

"We will be alone

"All you got to do is

"And dial

"That's my number, baby

"That's our number

"You can reach the Love Exchange

"Call Ed's Love Exchange"

Charlie, would I lie to you?

Charlie, take it easy. That's all in the past.

He hung up on me.

A lot of burnt bridges, Mr. Blues.

I know you can book us somewhere.

You're still the best.

Ever hear of Queen Moussette?

The Louisiana witch, Queen Moussette?

That's her. She has a "Battle of the Bands"

going on at her club.

Big cash prize. Your band wins,

I get 15 percent of the take.

I'll book you a couple of gigs

on the way to Louisiana.

Golly, thanks, Mr. Sline.

Let go of me.

Sorry.

One more thing. You'll have to audition

for Queen Moussette.

Don't tell the boys about this.

We'll call to find out where our first gig is.

Just be careful, Elwood.

Alan Rubin.

Mr. Fabulous.

Mr. Fabulous.

The Blues Brothers Band.

You're going to love them.

They're absolutely sensational.

Really sensational.

They're a great blues band.

Yeah, blues band.

No, blues, not bluegrass.

You don't want a blues band?

Bluegrass.

They're the Bluegrass Brothers.

They're wonderful.

They absolutely pulverize an audience.

You're going to call and thank me.

The Bluegrass Brothers.

Our first date is at the county fair...

...in Cynthiana, Kentucky...

...and then we have this mystery gig

in Louisiana.

Mystery gig?

Elwood, you got the keys to the trunk?

It's full.

I haven't played a county fair since '68.

Sounds like a lot of laughs.

We're back on the road again.

Who are you, Willie Nelson?

I'll ride with Elwood.

Go right ahead, Mr. Thrill-Seeker.

Excuse me, sir.

Didn't you used to be Elwood Blues?

Who's asking?

I've listened to your stuff since I was a kid.

Yeah, so?

My friends and I have a band.

We're rehearsing nearby.

It would be so cool, and mean so much

to me, if you'd come listen to us play.

Sure. Go get started

and I'll be there in a minute.

Great.

Let's highball!

Mr. Blues?

- It's been almost seven days, Mother Mary.

- We must call the police.

Kidnapping is a federal offence.

I suppose you're right.

We should call the police.

Sir.

We just received a call.

Elwood Blues has kidnapped a child.

Roachdale 31.

- Wait.

- I got a cheeseburger cooling, man.

Buster, I'm sorry,

you'll have to see a bad side of me.

Mack, your shaving cream.

So none of you are driving that Ford?

No.

And whose dry white toast is that?

Run for your lives!

My God, help us! Somebody help us!

He's having an attack!

It's puffball bacteria!

It's extremely contagious!

What in Sam Hill?

Run away! Oh, God!

It's puffball bacteria! It's contagious!

Save yourselves!

Save yourselves!

Save yourselves! Save yourselves!

Hot damn. That's quite a trick.

That white trash ex-con

invented criminally evasive driving.

He kidnapped a little...

Get after him!

Murph?

Go ahead.

See you at the gig.

Where is the gig?

County fairgrounds, off Route 107,

Cynthiana, Kentucky, 11 PM tomorrow.

See you there.

How will he get there

with all the cops after him?

Wait a minute.

Don't I know you boys from somewhere?

Check, please.

We have to get off this road.

They've called ahead by now.

Two miles down, get off this

and on County Road 245 to Mariah Hill.

That'll get us close to the State line.

We have to lose them first.

You passed the turn.

I know.

You're hoping they lost interest?

This is Agent Peters
