Seymour Moskowitz (Seymour Cassel), a long-haired parking attendant with an overgrown handlebar moustache, has just moved from New York to Los Angeles. Anxious beauty Minnie (Gena Rowlands) works as a curator for the local modern art museum and is involved in a degrading affair with a married man (John Cassavetes). She is rescued from a disastrous blind date by the elemental Seymour, who at length decides with unfeigned sincerity that Minnie is the one for him.
