Overview

The bungling inspector Cruchot finds himself trying to save the residents of St. Tropez from some oil-drinking humanoid aliens. The only way to tell the aliens from the real people, besides their constant thirst for oil-products, is that they sound like empty garbage cans when you touch them. Chaos is ahead.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A gleefully ridiculous romp where a bumbling French gendarme must protect his seaside town from oil-drinking aliens with the most absurd tell imaginable. It's pure Saturday-morning fun, silly, energetic, and never taking itself seriously for a moment.
