After his grandfather bequeaths him $6,000 and the money belt it came in, Eddie Tayloe quits his boring Texas newspaper job and heads to New York to pursue playwriting. En route his car breaks down, and he gives a lift to Perry, a young woman fleeing a gas‑station job. They travel together, part ways in the city, and both struggle—Eddie can’t sell his script and Perry can’t find work—until a chance encounter with veteran pickpocket Mandy brings them back together.
