Langt ude på landet i Californien driver den græske immigrant Nick Papadakis (John Colicos) en lille café sammen med sin smukke og yngre kone Cora (Jessica Lange). Cora er træt af sine ægtemand og ville ønske, at hun kunne drive stedet alene. Da den charmerende laps Frank Chambers (Jack Nicholson) dukker op, starter de to en affære og lægger en plan for fremtiden - en fremtid uden Nick.
