Synopsis

Three Bavarians travel to Bangkok, allegedly planning to start exporting German beer there. In fact, two of them, the village mayor and a friend of him, the village brewer, only have holiday plans in Thailand, and want to get involved with attractive Thai girls. And all that at tax payer's expense! The village priest sees through their plans and accompanies them. When it comes clear that the priest has a look-alike in Bangkok who is a local pickpocket, who is wanted by the mafia, things get troubled.
