Follows low life anti-heroes Roy Arnie, Odd, Gaz and Flea, who are uprooted from their mean city streets to work with Ringmaster Stromowski in a touring Russian circus in terminal decline. The star attraction is Jimmy, an elephant kept 'happy' on a cocktail of drugs. But Roy Arnie has a dream that one day he will run his own circus and he tells the boys that the key to his dream is Jimmy. On the opening night a bungled attempt to give Jimmy his 'fix' causes widespread panic. Jimmy escapes and so begins a mad cap cross country road-trip to find Jimmy before he goes cold turkey. Suddenly everyone wants a piece of Jimmy. A deranged bunch of animal activists led by clean living, straight-edged couple are after Jimmy to front their cause. A trigger-happy Scottish hunting party think his head would look great mounted on their wall and the Lappish Mafia--the meanest men in the North--want to 'hit' him for a big payoff. Jimmy's only chance is a benevolent moose who befriends him on the road. Can he help to free Jimmy, release him from his addiction and save him from a million dollar secret?
