The film tells the story of four antiheroes who suddenly find themselves on the highway and get a job in a Russian circus traveling with their friend. The big attraction of the circus is Jimmy, a drug-drinking elephant. On the opening day of the circus, Jimmy gets an overdose of the drug, goes crazy and runs away from the circus. The great elephant trap begins. Jimmy seems to have needed everyone: both a group of crazy animal rights fighters, a squad of Scottish hunters, and a fox mafia. Jimmy's only hope is a benevolent moose. Can he help Jim get rid of his addiction and protect him from a million-dollar secret?
