Comic book store clerk Clarence Worley celebrates his birthday by watching a Sonny Chiba triple feature in a Detroit cinema. This moment sparks a series of unexpected events that will change his life forever.

During his birthday celebration, Clarence meets the enchanting Alabama Whitman. Their instant connection leads to an intimate encounter, but Alabama soon reveals her troubling secret: she is a call girl sent by Clarence's boss.

Despite the unconventional circumstances of their meeting, Clarence and Alabama fall deeply for one another. The couple takes a bold step and marries the very next day, sealing their commitment amidst uncertainty.

Clarence's newfound happiness is threatened by Alabama's cruel pimp, Drexl Spivey. Feeling uneasy, Clarence envisions an apparition of Elvis Presley, who encourages him to confront Drexl for Alabama's safety.

After a tense confrontation, Drexl physically overpowers Clarence and steals his wallet. In a desperate act of self-defense, Clarence retaliates with a gun, killing both Drexl and one of his henchmen, asserting his determination to protect Alabama.

Clarence and Alabama, eager to start fresh after the chaos, open a bag they mistakenly believe belongs to Alabama. To their shock, they find it filled with stolen cocaine, realizing they are in deep trouble.

In light of their discovery, the couple makes a sudden decision to flee to California. They aim to seek reassurance from Clarence's father about their legal troubles stemming from the murder.

In California, Clarence's father, Clifford Worley, faces a perilous situation when gangster Vincenzo Coccotti and his thugs find him. Despite his attempts to protect his son’s whereabouts, Clifford pays with his life after angering Coccotti.

Determined to turn their situation around, Clarence devises a plan to sell the drugs through his friend Dick Ritchie. However, when Dick's connection Elliot runs into legal trouble, the plan begins to unravel.

Left alone in their hotel room, Alabama faces a violent henchman named Virgil. In a surprising turn, she demonstrates incredible strength, overpowers him, and kills Virgil, affirming her commitment to survive.

Detectives suspect a major drug deal is imminent and force Elliot to wear a wire during the transaction with Clarence. As tensions rise, the anticipation of a violent encounter looms over the meeting.

At the meeting, Clarence impresses film producer Lee Donowitz with his film knowledge. However, chaos erupts when the police and gangsters ambush the scene, igniting a brutal gunfight.

During the mayhem, Clarence is tragically shot in the eye while trying to protect himself. The moment leaves Alabama devastated, fearing for his life amidst the violence.

Believing Clarence to be dead, Alabama takes swift action to defend herself and retaliates by killing Dimes. The hotel transforms into a battleground as they fight their way to escape.

The couple ultimately survives the chaos and plans for a new life together in Cancún. In a poignant final scene, they embrace their unconventional love story and welcome their son, Elvis, symbolizing hope and renewal.
