Au Mexique, un jeune chimpanzé femelle assiste à la chute d'une météorite dont les radiations vont lui permettre de développer le sens de la parole. Capturée par des braconniers avides d'argent, elle s'échappe et finit dans le désert mexicain où elle manque de mourir. Elle est recueillie par frère Benoît, un moine français bénévole, qui est au Mexique afin d'aider les populations pauvres ou démunies et de répandre la bonne parole. Frère Benoît prend donc en charge le jeune chimpanzé qu'il nomme Mookie et l'élève personnellement dans l'orphelinat pour enfants dont il a la charge avec l'aide de Sœur Rose qui sauve Mookie de la déshydratation. Jusqu'au jour où Frère Benoît se rend compte du don de Mookie et la fait examiner par la Mère Supérieure qui veut immédiatement confier Mookie à des scientifiques. Pour éviter cela, Frère Benoît prend l'initiative de partir à Mexico au monastère où il est arrivé des années auparavant. Il demande alors de l'aide à Pablo, le seul ami en qui il a encore confiance dans la région et qui le dirige vers Antoine Capella, un boxeur français solitaire, qui prendra la route vers Mexico pour y accomplir quelques matchs professionnels. Le trajet vers Mexico qui aurait dû prendre quatre jours se compliquera tout le long du film par un tas d'embûches et de problèmes de tout genres.

The film depicts the lives and misadventures of two "resting" (struggling and unemployed) young actor friends in late-1969 London. They are the flamboyant alcoholic Withnail and "I" (named "Marwood" in the published screenplay but not in the credits) as his more level-headed, anxiety-prone, and ennui-crippled friend and the film's narrator. Withnail is filled with indignation over life’s injustices, despite his privileged background. He rages against the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune all the more because he blames others for the adverse consequences of his exuberant arrogance, flagrant narcissism and habitual lying, alcoholism, and drug use. Withnail sets the tone for the friendship, with Marwood going along with whatever Withnail wants to do. They live in a filthy Georgian flat in Camden Town. While they wait for a part, daily life revolves around getting coins to use in the meters that provide gas or electricity, going to collect benefits, and waiting for the pubs to open so they can drink and be somewhere with heating. Their only other company at the flat besides each other is the local drug dealer, Danny; a somewhat distasteful man with far out, often bizarre viewpoints on the current state of affairs and a knack for irritating Withnail.
