Eric Idle and Robert Wuhl star as a mismatched couple, Wendel and Lou in this mystery-comedy caper. Characters include a one-handed kingpin,a lawyer who suffers from dwarfism, and twin brothers, one a crazed photographer and the other a mild-mannered antique dealer. One of Wendel's many former foster parents, Mr Hu, dies, and his lawyer (the dwarf) gives Wendel his inheritance. A riddle. Wendel and Lou (his cello-playing best friend) soon realise the riddle isn't Hu's heirloom, just the key to finding Wendel's inheritance. But they are pursued by several unfavourable characters, almost all of whom want them dead.

Harry has been having an affair with Helen, who dreams of setting up her own bar and leaving Phil. At the bar, he spots an article in the New York Post about a man who was pummeled by a boxer.

À Athènes, en 1936, Isabella, une Allemande est mariée à un officier grec. Elle est proche du mouvement nazi et évolue dans le cercle autour de Métaxas. Elle est membre d'un mouvement mystique, un peu sorcière et douée de télépathie. Elle tombe amoureuse d'Alberto, un jeune Juif blond de 18 ans, livreur de glace. Elle trouve qu'il a le « regard du Diable ». Leur amour est impossible à cause des conventions sociales : âge, classes sociales, racisme. Lorsqu'Alberto disparaît, Isabella utilise la magie pour essayer de le faire revenir. Elle y parvient, mais Alberto est réduit à l'état d'un zombi sans volonté. Pour le libérer, elle se suicide. Cependant, elle parvient à renaître tout près de lui, pendant la guerre. Elle se réincarne dans Anna une petite fille d'une famille juive habitant le même immeuble qu'Alberto. Pour être seule avec lui, elle dénonce les autres Juifs de l'immeuble à la Gestapo. À la fin de la guerre, Alberto adopte Anna, devenue orpheline. Lorsqu'Anna grandit, celle-ci fait tout pour reconquérir le cœur de son unique amour. Alberto se rend cependant compte qu'Anna est habitée par l'esprit d'Isabella.

In the beginning, Columbus is obsessed with making a trip westwards to Asia, but lacks crew and a ship. The Catholic theologians at the University of Salamanca heavily disapprove of it, and they are not keen on ideas that go against the writings of Ptolemaeus. After continuous warnings at the monastery, he becomes involved in a brawl with the monks, ending up lying in the monastery courtyard to pay penance. His eldest son, Diego, one of the monks, looks on disapprovingly. As Columbus continues his penance through a vow of silence, he is approached by Martín Pinzon, a shipowner from Palos, who introduces Columbus to the banker Santángel. Queen Isabella I (Sigourney Weaver) owes money to Santángel. Columbus meets with the queen, who grants him his journey in exchange for his promise to bring back sufficient amounts of riches in gold.
