Bored Japanese youth live off the money of one of their wealthy parents. They drive around in a big American car and listen to jazz. They harass the secretary of the same man giving them their money, even planning a robbery which they fail to follow through on. Summer arrives and they head to a beach house and brood some more. One of them buys a gun and things get more serious. Filmed in the New Wave style, it lacks a compelling plot, not to mention likeable characters, though it does occasionally luck into some interesting moments, such as the Elvis impersonator at a party.
