Taisto, an unemployed Finnish miner, withdraws his entire savings, heads south in an inherited Cadillac convertible, and is promptly mugged at a roadside hamburger stand. He becomes the lover of the meter maid who tickets him for illegal parking, spots one of his assailants, is arrested for assaulting him, and is sentenced to prison. He escapes with his cellmate, marries his lover, robs a bank to pay for forged passports and finally escapes aboard the "Ariel", a cargo ship bound for South America.
