A lonely Michael Jackson impersonator lives in Paris and performs on the streets to make ends meet. During a show in a retirement home, he falls in love with a beautiful Marilyn Monroe look-alike, with whom he moves to an impersonator-commune in the Scottish Highlands. Other than tending to sheep and living a quiet life, they are building a stage in order to entertain the Scots with a show – Abe Lincoln, Little Red Riding Hood, the "Stooges", the Queen, the Pope, Madonna, Buckwheat, Sammy Davis, Jr. and also Marilyn’s daughter Shirley Temple and her possessive husband Charlie Chaplin. Meanwhile, there’s a missionary in a Latin American jungle with flying nuns.
