Simon Treat makes his way to Israel where he falls in love with Yudit and encounters a bizarre group of kibbutzniks.
After he sets out to win back his girlfriend by making a romantic tape in Prague, Simon's plans go awry when, filming a wedding, he has to stand in as groom after it becomes clear that the real groom isn't going to turn up.
Simon goes to Venice to find his brother's ex-girlfriend and help patch things up between them. However, encounters with a singing detective and his over-sexed wife, and Gina's honour-obsessed family force Simon to fight for his life.
Simon sends a tape to his ex-flatmates that shows him living on the hog in the Alps. Unfortunately, a miscalculation or exchange rates means his overdraft is the size of the Matterhorn. Perhaps all will be well when investigative journalist Jasmine hires him as a cameraman - but he soon discovers that the assignment involves filming drugs cartels.
A big win at the roulette wheel in Monte Carlo leads Simon on to wheeling and dealing at the Cannes Film Festival and a decision to stake all in order to finance his friend Paul's movie project.
Knackered from his travels, Simon decides to take in a Norwegian health resort to relax. Unfortunately, it's run by a money-mad American and a Norwegian instructor who models himself on General Patton.
