Plot: 1933: The Great Depression is in full black bloom. Failed Broadway impresario Chester Kent and his amnesiac sweetie Narcissa visit a fortune-teller on the outskirts of Chester's hometown of Winnipeg. The fortune-teller has little optimism for the future of this brash, happy-go-lucky entertainer. Chester demonstrates his vigorous disdain for these prognostications by demanding, and receiving, manual pleasure from Narcissa just as the old crone augurs his doom. The prophecy has cost the couple their very last nickel.Arriving in town, they meet a disillusioned streetcar driver who proves to be none other than Chester' s alcoholic ex-surgeon father Fyodor.
