What happens

Lola the Truck Driver (Spanish:Lola la trailera) is a 1983 Mexican action film directed by Raúl Fernández and starring Rosa Gloria Chagoyán, Rolando Fernández and Irma Serrano "La Tigresa". After her father is murdered, a young woman begins driving his truck so it won't be repossessed. With the help of an undercover detective, she tackles a major drugs baron. The film was a major commercial success on its release, earning $1 million in Mexico and $2.5 million in the United States. This represented a large profit for its backers who had spent $150,000 on the production. Several sequels starring Rosa Gloria Chagoyán as Lola followed beginning with The Kidnapping of Lola in 1986, as well as other films that tried to copy its style. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
