Chance (played by Peter Sellers), a simple-minded old gardener, has lived in an old house in Washington his entire life and has never left. His whole life revolves around watching television, which has become his only means of communication with the outside world. Over time, his entire thought process, behavior, and worldview have become completely televisionized. However, when his employer suddenly passes away, Chance finds himself with nowhere to go and all alone. Faced with a strange and new world, he quickly becomes disoriented. After an unexpected car accident, Chance unexpectedly becomes the guest of wealthy Washington businessman Eve (played by Shirley MacLaine) and Ben (played by Melvyn Douglas).
