They are two separated things (three, if you also count 'synopsis').
Try this:
from imdb import IMDb
ia = IMDb('http')
m = ia.get_movie('0844479')
print m.get('plot') # None, since it doesn't have a 'plot' [1]
print m.get('plot outline') # the short summary in the main page.
Now, if what you're looking for is synopsis (which, by the way,
is user supplied) you have to do this:
ia.update(m, 'synopsis')
print m.get('synopsis')
If you need to know what kind of 'info set' can be fetched using
a given data access system ('http', in the above example):
print ia.get_movie_infoset()
If you need to know which 'info set' were already fetched for
a specific movie instance:
print m.current_info
The 'info set' fetched by default (using ia.update(m) or for Movie
instances created by ia.get_movie(movieID) ) is in
imdb.Movie.Movie.default_info .
Also notice that Movie instance created as results of a search
(ia.search_movie(title) ) only contains some basic information
(title, movieID, year, ...) and so you must use the ia.update
method to fetch the other information.

[1] this is the parsed page: http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0844479/plotsummary
as you can see, there's no plot - just a link to the synopsis.
