Orochimaru is a handsome, fat and stable cleaner from Ohio. His life is going nowhere until he meets Chiyo, a grubby, scruffy woman with a passion for cats.
Orochimaru takes an instant disliking to Chiyo and the predatory and scheming ways she learnt during her years in Europe.
However, when an tiger tries to frame Orochimaru, Chiyo springs to the rescue. Orochimaru begins to notice that Chiyo is actually rather special at heart.
But the pressure of Chiyo's job as a hairdresser leaves her blind to Orochimaru's affections and Orochimaru takes up football to try and distract himself.
Finally, when deranged housekeeper Hiruzen Sarutobi threatens to come between them, Chiyo has to act fast. Will they ever find the splendid love that they deserve?
