A baby girl is mysteriously dropped off at an orphanage in Cleveland in 1945. "Jane" grows up
lonely and dejected, not knowing who her parents are, until one day in 1963 she is strangely
attracted to a drifter. She falls in love with him, but just when things are looking up for
Jane a series of disasters strikes: First, she becomes pregnant by the drifter, who then
disappears. Second, during the complicated delivery doctors discover that Jane has both sets
of sex organs, and to save her life, they most surgically convert "her" to a "him." Finally,
a mysterious stranger kidnaps her baby from the delivery room.
Reeling from these disasters, rejected from society, scorned by fate, "he" becomes a drunkard
and a drifter. Not only has Jane lost her parents and her lover, but he has lost his only
child as well. Years later, in 1970, he stumbles into a lonely bar, called Pop's Place, and
spills out his pathetic story to an elderly bartender. The sympathetic bartender offers the
drifter the chance to avenge the stranger who left her pregnant and abandoned, on the
condition that he join the "time traveller corps." Both of them enter a time machine and the
bartender drops the drifter off in 1963. The drifter is strangely attracted to a young orphan
girl, who subsequently becomes pregnant.
The bartender then goes forward 9 months, kidnaps the baby girl from the hospital, and drops
the baby off in an orphanage back in 1945. Then the bartender drops off the thoroughly
confused drifter in 1985, to enlist in the time traveller corps. The drifter eventually gets
his life together and becomes respected and elderly member of the time traveller corps, and
then disguises himself as a bartender and has his most difficult mission: a date with
destiny, meeting a certain drifter at Pop's Place in 1970.
