They come across a radio station run by a blind man (Stephen Root) and record the song "Man of Constant Sorrow," calling themselves the Soggy Bottom Boys. Unknown to them, the song becomes famous "as far away as Mobile." The trio parts ways with Tommy after their car is discovered by police, and they continue on their own. Among their many encounters, the most notable are a famous bank robberGeorge "Baby Face" Nelson (Michael Badalucco), and a run-in with three sirens who seduce and drug them. When Everett and Delmar awake, they find that Pete has vanished and only his clothes remain with a leopard frog inside. Delmar believes the sirens turned Pete into a toad and carries the toad in a box. Later, one-eyed Bible salesman Daniel "Big Dan" Teague (John Goodman) mugs them and kills the frog. (Thx WIKI)

Set in 1937 rural Mississippi[5] during the Great Depression, the film's story is a modern satire loosely based on Homer’s epic poem, Odyssey.
