Max, a charming day dreamer, who lives in Zürich's «Chreis Cheib», tries to keep himself afloat by committing small scams and is regularly supported by Lizzy, who works as a prostitute. Although Max has dozens of ideas on how to gain money legally, he is always lead astray by his abhorrence to work. When he gets into trouble with the police, is caught in an outrageous spy plot and is left by the love of his life, it seems as though his luck is running out. But he manages the best way he knows how: by chartering a zeppelin.
