Drifter Martin Sheen follows a white crow and finds twin platinum blonds in sun dresses living alone with grandpa in a dilapidated house in the country. Neither one has "ever been kissed", and it takes Sheen the entire film to address that problem. Through flashbacks, we learn of his life in the Navy, his various jobs and philosophy of life: go everywhere and try everything. We also learn about the two girls in flashbacks: a pilot who crashed nearby died, their mother, grandpa's story. It's an uneasy mix of second rate Tennessee Williams and an episode of Three's Company.
