On the calm seas of Miami, billionaire Andrews' luxury yacht is getting ready to set sail. In the cabin, Andrews is guiding her only daughter on a hunger strike. Daughter Ellie signed a marriage contract with pilot Kim Westley.
Father is soft and hard, saying that Westley is a shallow playboy who is not worthy of marrying her; while Ellie thinks he is a hero and does not marry him. As a result, the dispute broke out, and the daughter overturned her father's small dining table, and the father slapped the daughter. Angry and anxious, Ellie snatched the way out of the cabin and jumped into the sea. The crew was ordered to follow the search, but there was no trace.
After Ellie escaped, she came to Miami Station alone, jumped into the car, and wanted to go to New York to join Westley. Sitting next to her was Peter Vaughn, a young, poor journalist who had just been fired from the newspaper and was preparing to go to New York. In the evening, the car reached the next stop, and the driver announced that it would stop for ten minutes. Along the way, Ellie was a little tired, she wanted to get out of the car empty, but she was not very reassured about Peter, she hesitated for a moment, and as a result, she took the only travel bag she carried with her and got out of the car. The only small amount of clothing in this small travel bag was the only expensive watch she had left on her when she jumped into the sea. She stood near the car smoking a cigarette, and the travel bag was at her feet. Suddenly, Peter rushed towards her, and she was taken aback, but he just swept by. She didn't know what was going on yet. When Peter returned empty-handed, he learned that his travel bag had been taken away. Peter enthusiastically wants to report the driver, but Ellie is adamantly opposed. Because she had hidden things, she did not want her father to find out her whereabouts.
The car was about to start, and the passengers got on the bus one after another. Ellie didn't want to sit with Peter anymore, so she deliberately chose an empty seat. Who knew that as soon as she sat down, a drunk man fell on top of her and immediately fell asleep. Ellie had no choice but to get up and sit down next to Peter again. Peter was angry and ignored her. After a while, Ellie also dozed off and unconsciously fell asleep on Peter's shoulder. At the station, Peter handed her a newspaper from the day.
The headlines in the newspaper were the disappearance of Miss Andrews; it was also reported that Andrews was sending a large number of detectives to search around; and a high-priced reward: the messenger could receive a reward of 10,000 yuan. After Ellie read it, she thought that Peter wanted to take the opportunity to get a reward, so she whispered to him not to go out, and was willing to give him more rewards when he arrived in New York. She was taught a lesson by Peter: for him, whether it was Ellie or bounty, he was not interested, he was only interested in the headlines about her, and he wanted Ellie to rest assured that he would never report it. So he sent a telegram to the newspaper where he used to work, saying that he had the privilege of encountering one of the biggest scoops of the year.
They got into the same car again, but didn't sit together, Peter in the back, Ellie in front, and sitting next to her was Shapley, the stationery salesman. Shapley looked sideways at Ellie, teasing her shamelessly. Several times she looked back to Peter for help, but Peter ignored him. Later, as the more he made trouble, Peter got up and stepped forward, solemnly ordering Shapley to go away, saying that he was going to sit next to his wife. This sudden "husband" made Shapley have to leave.
Cars were struggling in the pouring rain. When the news came, the road bridge in front of it collapsed, and the car had to stop in the middle. Travelers flocked to Dyke's Motel for the night. Without asking Ellie for advice, Peter cooperated in a room as a husband, knowing that she was empty and that he had very little left. He used a rope to divide the room in half with a blanket, and he and Ellie lived on each side. This made Ellie very dissatisfied, and she angrily scolded Peter for being worse than Shapley. Peter reassured her that the blanket was like the wall of Jerry doo in the biblical story, and that it would never collapse without the priest's trumpet, which he did not have, so it was safe. Ellie was already sleepy after several tosses, and the small white bed was beckoning her, and she undressed and went to bed in fear.
The next morning, the rumbling of a plane woke up Ellie. Soon, someone came to the hotel to search for Ellie, and a detective hired by her father came to the door. Peter heard the news, that is, he and Ellie skillfully cooperated, and performed a "husband and wife quarrel", which made it difficult for the detectives to distinguish between true and false, and had to quit.
A dangerous situation passed, and they continued to ride forward. In the car, Ellie has given up the reserved attitude of the previous petite lady, laughing and singing with Peter and the passengers along the way, enjoying the joys of the journey. The car was bumping in the mud, and suddenly the front wheels fell into a mud puddle, and the passengers had to get out of the car and wait. By this time, Shapley, who was traveling with the car, had seen the newspaper of the day and recognized Ellie as Miss Andrews. In the name of a letter, he threatened Peter to agree to share the ten thousand dollar bounty with him equally. Peter was startled, and then took Shapley to the woods for a false discussion, pretending that ten thousand dollars was insignificant, implying that he had planned to kidnap Ellie for a million dollars; and saying that there were companions in front of him who might clash with the police, asking Shapley if he had a gun and welcoming him to do it. At this moment, Shapley was stunned, he thought of his wife and children, and he was afraid of going to prison, and he begged Peter to let him go. Peter then pushed the boat along the water and told him not to go in the same car and not to leak secrets.
Shapley was amnesty.
Peter and Ellie are penniless, and Peter advises her to call her father, but she strongly disagrees, even starving to death. As a result, he could no longer take a car and had to walk on foot. In the evening, Peter carried Ellie across a small river to a pasture full of hay. Ellie walked down one day, really sore back pain, hungry and thirsty, really can't stand it, it seems that she can only sleep on the haystack for one night. Peter made a "Simmons bed" for her with hay.
At night, the tranquil meadows exude the smell of earth and the aroma of hay. Peter and Ellie were each lying on the haystack, silent. They were both thinking about their own thoughts, and the days and nights of the journey encountered each other changed their original views of each other, replaced by a subtle and indescribable feeling. The next day, Ellie couldn't walk anymore. They hitched a ride on the road. Unexpectedly, during the afternoon break, the driver left them and drove away with Peter's suitcase. Peter was willing to give up and rushed to catch up, and actually stopped the car. Peter beat the driver up and drove back to pick up Ellie. They could have arrived that night
Arrived in New York, but Ellie insisted on going to the car shop for another night under the pretext of finding someone late at night.
In the car inn, when Peter hangs the "Yelito Wall" again, Ellie looks at him sadly and sadly, and she has fallen deeply in love with Peter. Across the "Wall of Yelitogo," Peter talked to her about his ideal girl and the place he longed for. As Ellie listened, she couldn't help but go around the "Wall of Jerry to Dogg", walk to Peter's bed, confide in him her admiration for him, and ask Peter to take her to that ideal place. Hearing her say this, Peter's heart stirred up a wave of unrest, but he tried his best to suppress it, and quietly and affectionately advised her to go back to his bed. Feeling infinitely aggrieved, Ellie collapsed on the bed and sobbed, she had never been hurt so badly. In fact, Peter has long been deeply in love with her, but he is currently penniless, even more unemployed, not even the travel expenses, and he does not know what to do at dawn.
Late at night, it occurred to him that if he sold his and Ellie's love story to the newspaper, it would be a big sensation. So he waited and shouted "Ellie", and instead of responding, she fell asleep. He decided not to wake her up and quietly drove to New York, expecting to return early in the morning. It was completely unexpected that when Peter got the honorarium from the newspaper office, he was overjoyed and drove back to the hotel with a happy face, but he saw Ellie sitting next to Westley in the high-end car of The Andrews family, sitting side by side in the back seat, and it turned out that the owner of the inn had always suspected that Peter and Ellie had not had a normal relationship. When he wakes up early in the morning and finds that Peter has disappeared with a car, he thinks that Ellie has been a prostitute, so he shouts loudly and forces Ellie to pay the rent. Where does Ellie pay? She was angry and hateful, angry at the boss's nonsense, hating that she had been deceived, and in desperation, she dialed a phone to her father. Prior to this, Andrews had been forced to give in to the newspaper statement that as long as Ellie returned home, he could marry Westley. At this time, Westley was receiving a message to welcome Ellie back. This scene made Peter extremely miserable, and Ellie was discouraged and ready to marry Westley.
On the eve of their wedding, Kim Westley decided to fly a newly invented rotorcraft (the predecessor of the helicopter) and landed on the lawn of Andrews' house to show his skills and make a grandstanding. Andrews did not like Westley, and was even more dissatisfied with his boasting of this flight. It was then that Peter came to see him. To Peter, Andrews already knew something about his daughter when he asked him about the situation after she ran away, and he knew that her daughter had fallen obsessively in love with him. Now I heard that he came to the door, and thought that he had come to ask for ten thousand yuan of honorarium, and unexpectedly, the young man was discouraged and lazy after Ellie left, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and this time he came to the door to ask Ellie's father to repay the travel expenses he had raised for his daughter along the way. Andrews saw Peter's great praise, such a man of integrity, honesty, young and ambitious, is not the ideal son-in-law in his mind? He happily supported his daughter's wishes, and made elaborate arrangements for her, before the altar of the wedding, let Ellie escape and drive the car to find Peter.
At night, Ellie and Peter stayed in the car inn for the third time, and the "Yelito Wall" was hung in the center of the small room. But this time, the "priest's" demon trumpet sounded, and the "Wall of Yelitogo" finally collapsed, and with it, the lights went out.
