Two men, previously unknown to each other, are arrested in New Orleans and placed in the same cell. Both Zack, a disc jockey, and Jack, a pimp, have been set up, neither having committed the crime for which they have been arrested. An interesting third person, joins them in their cell: the eccentric Italian optimist Roberto, whose limited command of the English language is both entertaining and infuriating. On his idea, they decide to escape from the prison. Their journey is the rest of the movie. Τhe third film of Jim Jarmusch is a cult classic.
