Aloysius is the genial "lunatic" in a small Jamaican village whose life takes a startling turn when he meets a German tourist, Inga. Aloysius is a revelation to her, and their romantic idyll continues as awed villagers look on. Inga invites the local butcher to join them and he leads them away from joyous escapades into less noble pursuits, culminating in an attempted burglary and a trial that becomes a comical search for justice marked by moments of hilarity and tumultuous outbursts. Aloysius is found innocent, and is remanded tothe custody and care of the Widow Dawkins.
