Chad, a black-jacketed, rock and roll loving motorcyclist stops at the town's garage because his bike needs repair. There Natalie, the mechanic (presumably an allusion to actress Natalie Wood, an off-screen date of Elvis Presley), immediately falls for Chad but overhears him saying that he's had "a lot" of women but only goes on travels with men. So Natalie covers her hair with a hat and puts motor oil on her face to approximate a beard, instantly becoming "Ed", Chad's sidekick (perhaps an allusion to Presley's friend Nick Adams who was also a close friend to Natalie Wood).
