In Zurich’s “Chreis Cheib”, the charming hedonist Max tries to keep his head above water with little tricks and is repeatedly financially supported by the prostitute Lizzy. Although Max has dozens of ideas, his aversion to work regularly takes him astray. When he gets into trouble with the police, gets entangled in a hair-raising agent story, is chased by a group of thugs and abandoned by his great love, his rising star seems to sink. But Max makes the best of it: he charters a zeppelin!
