Morgan (David Warner) is an eccentric artist who can't stop his fall into schizophrenia in this offbeat tragicomedy. When he learns his ex-wife Leonie (Vanessa Redgrave) is about to remarry, Morgan is pushed over the edge. He places a bomb under her bed, wires her house to transmit jungle sound effects, and dresses up like King Kong in a last ditch attempt to stop the wedding ceremony.
