Comic book store clerk and film buff Clarence Worley (Christian Slater) watches a Sonny Chiba triple feature at a Detroit movie theater for his birthday. Here he meets Alabama Whitman (Patricia Arquette), an attractive young woman. Afterward, they go for coffee and pie and he shows her his workplace. Later that night they have sex, after which she tearfully confesses that she is a call girl hired by Clarence’s boss as a birthday present. She also confesses that she has fallen in love with him and he has fallen in love with her. The next day the two marry. Clarence soon learns about Alabama’s volatile pimp, Drexl Spivey (Gary Oldman), which makes Clarence uneasy. He is later visited by an apparition of his idol, Elvis Presley (Val Kilmer), who tells him that killing Drexl will make the world a better place. Clarence assures Alabama he is only going to Drexl’s to get her things. When he is there, Clarence stands up to the intimidating Drexl and tells him to leave Alabama alone from now on. Insulted, Drexl and his right hand man Marty attack and subdue Clarence and take his wallet to find out where he and Alabama live, threatening her life. With this Clarence draws a gun and kills them both. He grabs a bag which he assumes belongs to Alabama and leaves. When he returns he tells Alabama he killed Drexl which she tearfully finds “So romantic!” Opening the suitcase, the two find it is full of stolen cocaine.
Planning to leave town for Los Angeles, Clarence and Alabama first visit Clarence’s father Clifford Worley (Dennis Hopper). Clarence asks Clifford, an ex-cop, to use his police connections to find out if he is in the clear regarding Drexl’s murder. Clifford tells him that the police assume the murder was a drug-related killing. With this Clarence and Alabama depart. In Los Angeles, Clarence and Alabama plan to meet Clarence’s old friend Dick Ritchie (Michael Rapaport), an aspiring actor. Clifford is later ambushed in his home by a gangster named Vincenzo Coccotti (Christopher Walken) and his men who claim the drugs Clarence took from Drexl, their underling, belonged to them originally and wants Clarence and Alabama’s location. Clifford stalls for as long as he can before accepting that he is going to die anyway and insults Coccotti and his Sicilian descent. Coccotti angrily kills Clifford before finding a note on the fridge giving Clarence’s whereabouts at Dick’s address. In Los Angeles, Clarence informs Dick of the drugs and plans to use Dick’s contacts with an actor named Elliot (Bronson Pinchot) to sell the drugs to a film producer, Lee Donowitz (Saul Rubinek). Elliot is soon arrested by the police for drug possession and uses his knowledge of Clarence’s drug deal to escape prison time. Also when Clarence is away getting food, Alabama is found and interrogated by one of Coccotti’s henchmen, Virgil (James Gandolfini), who viciously beats her to find the cocaine. When he does, Alabama fights back and manages to kill him. Clarence takes her away, and they talk about moving to Cancun with the money from the drug deal. Read more
