Marketinški stručnjak na letu kući za Dan zahvalnosti sjedi do bučnog prodavača prstena za zavjese. Kada njihov let preusmjere zbog snježne oluje, jedan prodavačev savjet vodit će ih iz jedne katastrofe u drugu. Na putu kući kako bi proveo Dan zahvalnosti sa svojom obitelji, Neal Page (Steve Martin) na letu iz New Yorka za Chicago sjedi pokraj neotesanoga galamdžije Dela Griffitha (John Candy). Neal je ljubazni marketinški stručnjak koji je trebao dobiti mjesto u prvoj klasi; Del je prodavač alki za tuš-zavjese željan podijeliti svoja putnička iskustva s Nealom kad snježna oluja preusmjeri njihov let. Dok Neal pokušava pronaći prijevoz kući, a Delov savjet vodi ih iz jedne katastrofe u drugu – svaku iritantniju od one prije – postavlja se pitanje hoće li Neal stići na vrijeme kući kako bi proveo Dan zahvalnosti sa svojom obitelji. Ili će ga provesti s ovim gubitnikom?

Hyacinth Bucket (whose name, she insists, is pronounced "Bouquet") is a suburban housewife in the West Midlands. She would be the first to tell you that she is a gracious hostess, a respected citizen, and a well-connected member of high society. If you don't believe that, just ask her best friend Elizabeth, held captive in Hyacinth's kitchen; or the postmen and neighbours who bristle at the sound of her voice; or Richard, her weary and compliant husband. In fact, Hyacinth's reputation could be as perfect as her new lounge set, if not for her senile father's love of running wild in the nip. Oh, and she would prefer it if her brother-in-law was a sharper dresser. And that her husband was more ambitious. And that her sisters were more presentable. And do take your shoes off before you come in the house, dear. Mind that you don't brush against the wallpaper.
