Due amici londinesi tra i 25 e i 30 anni, vivono insieme da molto tempo nel lercio appartamentino di un quartiere degradatissimo. Più belloccio e meno sfortunato l'innominato, più bizzarro il suo compagno, tirano avanti a fatica, nell'attesa di una scrittura teatrale che non arriva mai. Tanto per uscire da Camden Town, "lo" suggerisce di andare a fare una visita a Monty, lo scapolo e ricco zio di Withnail, che vive altrove e da costui accettano ben volentieri di trasferirsi per una settimana di vacanza nella casa rustica che quello possiede in campagna. Ma là piove quasi sempre e c'è un freddo dannato: già è un problema il procurasi liquori e carburante, data l'inospitalità nei confronti dei londinesi, senza contare un bracconiere che sembra avercela con i due. Lo zio Monty arriva in visita a bordo della sua lussuosa macchina e per fortuna porta rinforzi: è un tipo grasso e rubizzo, un volto porcino, amante dei buoni piatti e più ancora dei bei ragazzi.
