Jeune hippie libre et indépendant, David erre dans une société mercantile qui ne respecte plus ses propres valeurs. Afin de ne pas s'enraciner, il a pris pour habitude de voyager sans véritable but, sur sa moto, à travers tout le pays. Une nuit, il s'arrête afin de porter secours à un quidam qui s'avère être un riche homme d'affaires. Ce dernier, même s'il accepte son aide, lui fait la morale à propos de convictions dénuées de propositions et d'alternatives sociétales, qu'il juge somme toute immatures. Après que sa roue ait été changée, l'homme repart. Alors qu'il constate qu'un pneu de sa moto est crevé, David est témoin de la mort de l'inconnu qui s'est écrasé contre un arbre. Le motard n'a pas d'autre choix que de prendre la fuite.

The plot involves a near invincible man known as Mikos, a Greek citizen who was given a healing factor and driven insane by church-sanctioned scientific experimentation. A priest pursues Mikos to a town in America, and attempts to destroy him by impaling him on a set of railings which disembowel him, but he is revived later in a local hospital. The madman escapes after brutally murdering a nurse, and goes on a killing spree. The priest informs the hospital and authorities that the only way to kill Mikos is to 'destroy the cerebral mass'.

In 1965, Rosemary Woodhouse (Mia Farrow), a bright but somewhat naive young housewife, and Guy (John Cassavetes), her husband and a struggling actor, move into the Bramford, an antiquated New York City apartment building. The couple learns from the building's manager, Mr. Nicklas (Elisha Cook, Jr.), that their new residence was previously inhabited by Mrs. Gardenia, an elderly woman who had seemingly gone senile. Guy also discovers a dresser concealing a simple closet which contains nothing except a vacuum cleaner and a few other household items. Their friend Hutch (Maurice Evans) tries to dissuade them from taking the apartment, informing them of some of the Bramford's rather unseemly history but, undeterred, Rosemary and Guy move into the building.
