　　Mr. North, a stranger to a small, but wealthy, Rhode Island town, quickly has rumors started about him that he has the power to heal people's ailments. The rumors are magnified by his tendency to collect negative charges and give shocks to anyone he touches. In his adventures he befriends an old man who is a shut-in and helps him rediscover the world.

　　Cosmo Vitelli是一个简洁的人，曾在朝鲜战争中担任兽医，他也是一个赌徒。他在加州有家脱衣舞点，叫做Crazy Horse West。　　当我们遇上他的时候，他正在偿还最后一笔赌债。过后不久Vitelli又很快在一个非法的纸牌游戏中损失了$23,000，这次他的债务人不再友好，逼迫他马上偿清债务或是杀死一个唐人经纪以抵债。影片最后，以Cosmo Vitelli一个人站在夜总会门外寂寞的街头，开始用手抚摩因受伤流着血的腹部作为影片的结束。
