A gentleman and his friend attended an exhibition of new art where modernist artists exhibited their ridiculous works. Among them is a dead rat on a tray. The gentleman buys the "work" and invites the authors to his house for dinner, warning that it will be as original as their painting. The assembled guests intend to honor the invited modernists by smearing them with raspberry jam. The artists run around the room and finally hide under the table. After apologizing to themselves, they leave the reception.

Gulley Jimson is a boorish aging artist recently released from prison. A swindler in search of his next art project, he hunkers down in the penthouse of would-be patrons the Beeders while they go on an extended vacation; he paints a mural on their wall, pawns their valuables and, along with the sculptor Abel, inadvertently smashes a large hole in their floor. Jimson's next project is an even larger wall in an abandoned church.

A Russian criminal steals a giant diamond from the Mafia, hides it, and suddenly runs into his unknown brothers; unexpected, absurd events with participation of the mob, doctors, musicians, Americans, militia, and gypsies ensue.
