Plot

The actions once again take place in the small French town of Saint-Tropez. This time, Chief Marshal Cruchot has discovered that aliens have arrived in their town. The aliens--which are made of iron--can duplicate the forms of humans and are skilled in the ways of telekinesis; they promptly impersonate the policemen. Cruchot finds that the only two ways to tell them apart are the fact that they drink oil and that, when struck, they make a sound similar to that of an empty rubbish bin. Hilarity, of course, ensues, especially when identities get mixed up: Cruchot is assumed to be mad.
