Joe Dirt is a custodian at a Los Angeles radio station, sleeping in a janitors closet in the basement. A producer discovers Joe being bullied in the hallway, and drags him into the studio to talk live on the air with famous disc jockey, shock jock Zander Kelly. Joe tells his life story. As a baby he had a mullet wig installed because the top of his skull had never formed. At age 8, he was left behind by his parents and young sister at the Grand Canyon. He does not know his real last name. After growing up in a series of foster homes, Joe arrives in Silvertown, a small town in the Pacific Northwest, where he meets beautiful Brandy and her dog, Charlie, and becomes a target for jealousy from Robby, the town bully, who has a crush on Brandy.After Brandys alcoholic father executes Charlie during a state of drunkenness, Joe decides to try to find his parents. First, he strikes a friendship with Kicking Wing, an initially unsuccessful Native American fireworks salesman who aspires to become a veterinarian and insists that ancient tracking methods are outdated. In Indiana, he has an encounter with a skin cannibal named Buffalo Bob, which brings him unwanted attention from the media but nonetheless helps his search. Afterwards, he travels to Louisiana and works as a high school janitor with Clem Doore, a former NYC mobster in the Witness Protection Program, with whom he strikes a long term friendship. With the help of a salesman of Rambler Wagons, the car that Joes parents apparently had in their pictures, and Charlene, who briefly employs him at a lethal alligator farm, Joe discovers the address of his old family home and travels to Baton Rouge. ........
