Shot of a man named Larry in his room. Shot of him trying to kiss his mother goodbye but getting shooed away. Shot of him walking down the street. Shot of an old woman in a window asking him what he was doing with his luggage. He says he’s going to Greenwich Village for fame and fortune. There is a title graphic for the movie. Larry looks up and sees billboards. He walks up to an old apartment. Once inside he complains about it. Montage of different scenes from the movie: coffeehouses, bars, studios... Larry is then seen with men in suits, then with a woman getting dressed. Shots of him being wacky. Shot of him in a crowded room saying “Next stop, Greenwich Village”. Shot of him yelling at his parents. Shot of a woman crying and saying she doesn’t want to live. Young Christopher Walken. Title graphic. Larry and his girlfriend standing under an umbrella in the rain. Larry and his girlfriend embracing each other inside. A piece of art depicting a man with a suitcase next to the title is shown.
