Capturée par des braconniers avides d'argent, elle s'échappe et finit dans le désert mexicain où elle manque de mourir. Elle est recueillie par frère Benoît, un moine français bénévole, qui est au Mexique afin d'aider les populations pauvres ou démunies et de répandre la bonne parole. Frère Benoît prend donc en charge le jeune chimpanzé qu'il nomme Mookie et l'élève personnellement dans l'orphelinat pour enfants dont il a la charge avec l'aide de Sœur Rose qui sauve Mookie de la déshydratation. Jusqu'au jour où Frère Benoît se rend compte du don de Mookie et la fait examiner par la Mère Supérieure qui veut immédiatement confier Mookie à des scientifiques. Pour éviter cela, Frère Benoît prend l'initiative de partir à Mexico au monastère où il est arrivé des années auparavant. Il demande alors de l'aide à Pablo, le seul ami en qui il a encore confiance dans la région et qui le dirige vers Antoine Capella, un boxeur français solitaire, qui prendra la route vers Mexico pour y accomplir quelques matchs professionnels.

The film shows the earth from the view of the Martian flying machines which did not land but used cameras to film earth society.

First, it shows one going through dinner with a precisely regulated feeding (vehicle refueling from a gas pump), then it must take its rest (pulling into an attached garage next to a house), because it will have a busy day the next day.
