Plot Summary

Upon his release from a mental hospital following a nervous breakdown, the directionless Anthony joins his friend Dignan, who seems far less sane than the former. Dignan has hatched a hare-brained scheme for an as-yet-unspecified crime spree that somehow involves his former boss, the (supposedly) legendary Mr. Henry. With the help of their pathetic neighbor and pal Bob, Anthony and Dignan pull a job and hit the road, where Anthony finds love with motel maid Inez. When our boys finally hook up with Mr. Henry, the ensuing escapade turns out to be far from what anyone expected. Written by Marty Cassady

Trivia After the movie bombed at the box office, Owen Wilson seriously considered joining the Marines, convinced that acting held no future for him. See more »
Goofs After the bookstore robbery, the boys are conversing at the house and police lights can be seen flashing among the trees behind Owen Wilson. This was meant to lead into a scene that was deleted about the police being called to the neighborhood for an unrelated call, during which they end up discovering Bob's marijuana crop. See more »
