The movie tells the story of Mr. North, a stranger to a Newport, who quickly has rumors started about him claiming that he has the power to heal people's ailments. The rumors are magnified by his tendency to collect negative charges and give shocks to anyone he touches. In his adventures he befriends an old man who is a shut-in and helps him rediscover the world. (Starring Anjelica Houston, Robert Mitchum, Lauren Bacall and Anthony Edwards.)
