Don Shelley, a black pianist, hired Tony, a white gangster, as his full-time driver and bodyguard in order to tour the southern region where racial discrimination is more serious. In the journey of driving south, two people with different personalities had many contradictions, but after experiencing difficulties again and again, they got to know each other better. Gradually, they slowly put aside their prejudice and established a true cross-racial friendship.

Gangster boss Tony didn't like black people at first. He threw the cups drunk by the black people who worked in his house directly into the trash can, despite the poor conditions at home. When he learned that the boss who wanted to hire him was also black, his heart was quite resistant, but the price offered by Don Shelley was very attractive, and he was temporarily unemployed. After some compromise, he promised to go to the south with Don Shelley.

Tony talks a lot. He keeps talking all the time while driving. Shelley is quiet, seldom communicates with Tony actively, and even thinks Tony's behavior and language expression are rude, which once made him unacceptable.

In Shelley's eyes, both blacks and whites should have their own principles and live with dignity. He hopes he can change Tony's bad behavior. Therefore, Shelley has been teaching Tony in her own way: don't throw dice on the gravel road, it will lose her dignity; Don't steal the jade in the shop, or you will feel uncomfortable. Actually, Tony doesn't think so. In Tony's view, people should live as they please. He throws dice on the ground with a group of black people, because he can win money, and it will make him feel a little fun to pick up jade without paying. Shirley and Tony had too many heated arguments along the way because of different ideas.
