The story may not be linear and exhibits several instances of temporal disruption. A dark-haired woman (Harring) escapes her own murder, surviving a car accident on Mulholland Drive. Injured and in shock, she descends into Los Angeles and sneaks into an apartment which an older, red-headed woman has just vacated. An aspiring actress named Betty Elms (Watts) arrives at the same apartment and finds the dark-haired woman confused, not knowing her own name. The dark-haired woman assumes the name "Rita" after seeing a poster for the film Gilda (1946), starring Rita Hayworth. To help Rita remember her identity, Betty looks in Rita's purse, where she finds a large amount of money and an unusual blue key.

L'action se situe dans un espace unique tout le long du film, un salon d'un appartement pourvu d'un couloir en arrière-plan et d'une porte d'entrée à gauche. L'ensemble se présente comme une scène de théâtre, présentation accentuée par les rires enregistrés récurrents qui ponctuent le film et rappellent le sitcom. La pièce assez vaste comporte un canapé, une lampe de chevet, un téléphone sur un petit meuble et une planche à repasser. Les trois personnages sont trois lapins de forme humanoïde : Jack, homme, en costume noir qui entre et sort à plusieurs reprises, Suzie, femme en robe de chambre principalement occupée à repasser du linge, et Jane, femme, qui ne quitte pas le canapé et ne dit pas un mot de tout le film. L'éclairage de la pièce, sommaire, fournit une demi-obscurité.

The film opens to the sound of a gramophone playing Axxon N, "the longest-running radio play in history". Meanwhile, a young prostitute, identified in the credits as the "Lost Girl", cries while watching television in a hotel room, following an unpleasant encounter with her client. The Lost Girl’s television displays a family of surrealistic anthropomorphic rabbits who speak in cryptic statements and questions. Occasionally, there are laugh track responses within these Rabbit scenes. These three elements become recurring motifs throughout Inland Empire.

London Hospital surgeon Frederick Treves finds John Merrick in a Victorian freak show in London's East End, where he is kept by Mr. Bytes. His head is always hooded, and his "owner," who views him as retarded, is paid by Treves to bring him to the hospital for exams. He shows Merrick to his colleagues and highlights his monstrous skull, which forces him to sleep with his head on his knees, since if he were to lie down, he would asphyxiate. On Merrick’s return he is beaten so hard by Bytes that an apprentice calls Treves to bring him back to hospital. When Bytes accuses Treves of likewise exploiting Merrick for his own ends, he vows to do what he can to help Merrick.

Long ago, a demon fell in love with a woman and conjured up a bed on which to make love to her. The woman died during the act, and, in his grief, the demon wept tears of blood which fell on the bed and caused it to come to life. While the demon rests, the bed's evil is contained, but once every ten years, the demon wakes, giving the bed the power to physically eat human beings. Only one man, an artist identified as Aubrey Beardsley, was spared, as the bed condemned him to immortality behind a painting, where he must forever witness the bed taking victims. The bed passed from owner to owner until the present day.

Il s'agit de la captation vidéo d'un spectacle musical présenté par Lynch (et co-signé avec Angelo Badalamenti) à la Brooklyn Academy of music le 10 novembre 1989, dans le cadre du festival New Music America. À la base, Industrial Symphony n 1 est un récital de chansons écrites par David Lynch, parolier, et Angelo Badalamenti, compositeur. La plupart des chansons ont un rythme lent, prennent pour thème l'amour, et empruntent aux sonorités des slows des années 1950 tout en les sublimant. Les chansons sont interprétées par Julee Cruise : son style vocal ne laisse pas de place à l'improvisation ; il reste fluet, appliqué, sans aucun effet séducteur ou sensuel, l'objectif étant de laisser l'émotion surgir d'une atmosphère globale créée par le spectacle et non par l’interprète uniquement. Dans le spectacle, la chanteuse apparaît le plus souvent suspendue ou blottie dans le coffre d'une voiture : "Défigurée par une perruque platine faisant casque, transformée en abat-jour par une robe à balconnet dont l'ampleur partant au-dessus de la taille l'engonce, dévoile ses jambes qui se balancent dans le vide.
