　　克拉克（馬修柏德利，「酷斯拉」）是紐約電影學院的新鮮人，但他還沒開始享受大學生涯就被人騙走了行李和所有財物，正當他走投無路之時，竟意外遇上偷走他財物的混混。為彌補克拉克的損失，那混混為克拉克引薦其叔父薩巴提尼（奧斯卡影帝馬龍白蘭度，「現代啟示錄」），希望他能幫克拉克安插個工作。雖然薩巴提尼所從事的〃進口生意〃頗受人質疑，他后來卻成了克拉克的良師，教了他許多待人處事的經驗。馬龍白蘭度在本片一反以往的作風改走喜劇路線，和他在其代表作「教父」中柯里昂家族的教父形象大相逕庭。

　　Sheila Hood is an ex-cop whose marriage is on the rocks. Rather than confronting her husband about an affair, she hides surveillance cameras in her home and watches his transgressions, becoming a voyeur of her own life. Her husband, Tom Kale, is an ornithologist who begins an affair with an ex-girlfriend, Merle James, whose beauty and fragility echoes that of the birds he studies. Ray Starling, the charismatic owner of a boutique hotel, is Merle’s lover, and has dealings with her father, Mr James, a powerful oil baron who operates in the shadows but whose influence touches the whole city. Merle’s younger sister, Hazel, is also drawn to Tom, but trapped in Starling’s web of power. Calvin is an cop whose loyalty to his ex partner, Hood, is tested when mounting evidence from her own surveillance tapes connects her and Tom to Starling’s murder, and perhaps even Merle’s mysterious death.
