"Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?"

What is the story in the movie? Never saw it myself so this is the first time I have heard of it.

What is the story in the movie? Never saw it myself so this is the first time I have heard of it.
It's current free on YouTube:
Disenchanted with the daily drudge of crushing rocks on a prison farm in Mississippi, the dapper, silver-tongued Ulysses Everett McGill (George Clooney) busts loose. Except he's still shackled to his own chain-mates from the chain gang -- bad-tempered Pete (John Turturro) and sweet, dimwitted Delmar (Tim Blake Nelson). With nothing to lose and buried loot to regain -- before it's lost forever in a flood -- the three embark on the adventure of a lifetime in this hilarious offbeat road picture. Populated with strange characters, including a blind prophet, sexy sirens, and a one-eyed Bible salesman (John Goodman), it's an odyssey filled with chases, close calls, near misses, and betrayal that will leave you laughing at every outrageous and surprising twist and turn.
It's very clever and sortof tells a 1930s version of the Homer's ancient poem, "The Odyssey". Characters and elements from the tale are present anyway.
"Damn! We're in a tight spot!"

Free advice: don't EVER, ever, ever, ever, ever sit for dinner with your wife and her pot roast and say "I slaughtered this horse last Tuesdee. I'm afraid she's started to turn."
