An alien arrives on the planet Earth with a special mission. He must steal and send canned food to his home planet, because it is very scarce there. The alien is confronted with the absurdity of Earth life. Ten animated episodes were inserted into the feature film as an ironic commentary.

He is well educated, charming, and gallant - a dream for each lonely lady. In reality he is a skillful swindler, who robs naive women. Cheating merchants with guilty consciences are his targets as well. This is the elusive protagonist of the movie. He constantly changes his name, stages his own death, and travels from town to town. His exploits are myriad and his life is an endless adventure. Yet, he remains an amiable swindler, an unrealized actor, whose only goal is make his life more interesting.
