In this animated film, the small Polish village of Chelm is populated entirely by imbeciles because of an accident that occurred shortly after the creation of the world. Aaron (Tommy J. Michaels), a bright young orphan, moves there to live with his aunt and uncle, and is surprised to discover that he and his pet goat, Zlateh, are by far the smartest inhabitants. When an evil magician and his golem try to steal the synagogue's holy book, Aaron and Zlateh must use their wits to stop him.
