An opera singer (Ellen Barkin) is feeling vulnerable since the break-up of her marriage. She hires a cowboy dog trainer (Jack Nicholson) and have dogs to protect her and her property from intruders. The trainer has ulterior motives himself though.
A screwball comedy that falls flat on its face which is surprising given the talent on offer, including a re-teaming of Nicholson and director Bob Rafelson having been teamed with FIVE EASY PIECES (1970), THE KING OF MARVIN GARDENS (1973) and THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE (1981). Part of the problem is a distinct lack of chemistry between Barkin and Nicholson
