Meet a man who never met a woman he didn't love.
Молодой англичанин Алфи живет в Нью-Йорке и работает шофером лимузина в маленькой фирме, принадлежащей истеричному японцу. Когда за рулем роскошной машины сидит красавец, уже не так важно, чья она. Женщины кружат вокруг Алфи как мотыльки. Успех у противоположного пола развращает. Бабник Алфи легко порхает от женщины к женщине, легко одаривает их своим вниманием и так же легко с ними расстается. Мало, кто отваживается на моногамию, когда вокруг столько искушений. Алфи даже не пытался остепениться. Ему нравится такая жизнь — сегодня одна подружка, завтра другая. Но, как правило, в жизни каждого человека наступает момент, когда приходится платить по счетам.
