Synopsis
Junie Moon, whose face was badly scarred when her deranged boyfriend poured battery acid on her, leaves the hospital with two new friends, Arthur and Warren, who also have major physical and emotional problems. Arthur is an epileptic whose disability forced him to spend his childhood in a foster home, and Warren, raised by one of his mother's bohemian friends, is a paraplegic homosexual, crippled by a gunshot wound. The three of them rent a house from the eccentric Miss Gregory, and Junie manages to find Arthur a job with Mario, who runs a nearby fish market. Miss Gregory soon invites her three tenants to dinner at her mansion, but she spoils the evening when she tries to make Warren get out of his wheelchair and walk by offering him a $100,000 antique cross as a reward. Soon afterwards, an anonymous phone caller tells Mario that Arthur is a sodomist, and he is forced to fire his new employee. Even so, Mario, who is falling in love with Junie, lends the trio money to take a vacation at a seaside resort. While they are there, Warren is carried around by the resort's handsome black social director, and on one occasion he spends the entire night on the beach making love with Solana, the social director's girl friend. Arthur tells Junie he loves her, but she mistrusts men and is reluctant to have sex with him. They finally make love, but the next day Arthur's health begins to fail, and he dies in Junie's arms. At his funeral, Junie, Warren, and Mario are the only mourners.
