action

Marvin Mange is a civil employee of the local police, where he is responsible for the evidence room . Often he dreams of a career as a policeman, but so far he has always failed the fitness test. After a car accident, he is rescued by a scientist who actually works with animals. To save Marvin's life, he implants him animal organs. Marvin, who did not notice anything, is now showing the behavior of an animal more and more often. With his new physical abilities, Marvin now also passes the fitness test and becomes a real cop. He even gains some recognition when, thanks to his sense of smell, he can expose a drug smuggler. In his private life, too, things are getting better and better, he falls in love with the attractive animal rights activist Rianna. But soon there are problems for Marvin when cows are ripped off and he can remember the supposed dream of last night in which exactly that happened. Unfortunately, there was a witness to his nightly action who saw Marvin and denounced him to his boss. Marvin is suspended and soon finds himself facing a pack of neighbors who want to lynch him, incited by his ex-partner Sisk.
