A sleazy downtown motel in Memphis, Tennessee provides the stopping off point for three very different groups of people: a rock'n'roll obsessed Japanese couple paying a visit to Elvis' home, Graceland; a beautiful Italian widow who has a surprise encounter with the 'King' himself; and an inept gang of thugs seeking refuge in the hotel after a liquor store robbery. Cult director Jim Jarmusch links their stories together by the comic antics of the night clerk and bellboy, played by Screamin' Jay Hawkins and Spike Lee's brother Cinque.
