The weatherman is named Harris K. Telemacher (Martin), and he specializes in goofy weather reports that have little connection with actual climatic conditions. He makes enough money at his job to move in an affluent circle of beautiful people who seem prepared to sit in the sunshine ordering cappucino for the rest of their lives. Then Telemacher is fired, and discovers that his mistress (Marilu Henner) is having an affair, and with relief and a certain feeling of freedom he walks out of the relationship and takes stock of his life, inspired by the sentient highway sign.
