Sinopsis

Un recogedor de basura sueña con obtener fama y dinero en el mundo de la comedia alentado por su amigo y compañero de trabajo. A pesar de que su amigo, que lo acompaña en el acordeón, no deja de decirle lo grande que es, en realidad no posee talento alguno. Cuando al humorista le crece un tercer brazo en la espalda repentinamente, éste lo utiliza como parte de su espectáculo y consigue que lo represente un agente, con lo que comienza a ganar la notoriedad que buscaba.
