The poor cowboy Jon (Jon Woithe Jon Voight) comes to New York from his hometown to make a living. He thinks he is suave, so he wants to make a living as a male prostitute in New York. On his first day in New York, he hooked up with women on the street. Unexpectedly, when he was a stranger, he lost 20 yuan on the contrary. Frustrated, Jon meets Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman Dustin Hoffman), who makes a living by cheating a little money. Rizzo deceives Jon that he knows the head of a male prostitute group, but charges 20 yuan as an intermediary fee. In the end, Rizzo just introduced Jon to a gay pimp, and an angry Jon went to Rizzo. Rizzo took in the homeless Jon, and the two became good friends who talked about everything. In the cold New York winter, the two were so bitter that they had no food and clothing, and Rizzo had no money to buy medicine. Rizzo longed for life in Miami. He invited Jon to go to Miami with him to explore the world. The desperate two went to an underground bar to try their luck this night. When Jon finally got a deal, the exhausted Rizzo fell down the stairs. Rizzo, who is dying, is the most concerned at the moment.
