A baboon carries out a well-practiced routine before heading to his job - lighting the moon with his 'moonshine machine'. A great deal of detail is shown of the baboon’s house which gradually paints a sad picture of his lonely existence, underpinned at the end of the film when he laments his homesickness by playing blues on his trumpet whilst watching Earth.
