Comédie fantaisiste : la nuit dans une maison de repos pour agités, un surveillant emprunte sans autorisation la Cadillac de la directrice pour conduire au bord de la mer deux jeunes pensionnaires de l'asile. La directrice, femme autoritaire et revêche qui terrorise son mari, oblige ce dernier à voler un camion-citerne, et la poursuite commence. Les pourchassés et les poursuivants traversent la France, depuis la région parisienne jusqu'à Nice. Tout en s'occupant du bien-être de ses passagers auxquels s'ajoute bientôt une charmante auto-stoppeuse, le surveillant devra multiplier les ruses pour déjouer ses poursuivants, échapper aux agents de l'Ordre public, amadouer les automobilistes vindicatifs dans les embouteillages comme sur les pistes d'autos-tamponneuses ; il devra se montrer patient et compréhensif face aux commerçants, restaurateurs, hôteliers et faire preuve de talents de négociateur, de sauveteur en rivière, de funambule, de jongleur. Lancé à sa poursuite, le couple directorial va hériter des mêmes rencontres, multipliant à son tour gaffes et quiproquos. Dans une scène poignante qui est un des sommets du film, les deux époux finiront par reconnaître leurs véritables sentiments. Pendant ces extravagantes péripéties, le conducteur du camion-citerne vit la non moins difficile expérience de tenter d'entrer en contact téléphonique avec ses employeurs, un été où le téléphone de l'asile n'est pas au meilleur de son fonctionnement.

While Lowell is generally known for its central role in the Industrial Revolution as the first planned textile town in the United States, the city had fallen on hard times since the mills left the city in the early 1920s. Wang Laboratories, a major employer in Lowell in the more prosperous 1980s, declared bankruptcy and virtually went out of business in the early 1990s. The Lowell of 1995 had a large percentage of the population unemployed or underemployed, in poverty, and unaffected by positive things in the city like the Lowell National Historical Park and The Lowell Folk Festival (established in 1990). Much of the film takes place in a lower-class section of the city's (Lower) Highlands neighborhood.
