Navin is an idiot. He grew up in Mississippi as adopted son of a black family. But at his 18th birthday he feels he wants to discover the rest of the world and sets out to St. Louis. Everyone exploits his naivete, but then a simple invention brings him a fortune.
At 1:11:50, there is a 2 minute scene showing Steve Martin as a Mexican
carnival performer,
juggling 3 kittens.
From the script: (A scene in a Mexican bar - cat juggling!! Navin is
shocked. The juggler looks suspiciously like Navin, but rest assured,
according to the movies credits, Steve Martin plays Navin, and Pig Eye
Jackson is credited as the cat juggler.) "Good Lord - I've heard about
this - cat juggling! Stop! Stop! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Good.
Father, could there be a god that would let this happen?"
The entire movie may be seen here.
