Harry Coombes is an elderly widower and retired teacher who is evicted from his Upper West Side apartment in New York City because his building will be razed to build a parking lot.

He initially stays in the suburbs with the family of his eldest son Burt, but chooses instead to travel cross-country with his pet cat, Tonto.

He disembarks in the countryside so that Tonto can urinate, and the angry bus driver leaves him there.
