The Gods Must Be Crazy Collection chronicles the comic adventures of a Kalahari Bushman named Xixo as his world is invaded by modern civilisation. In TGMBC 1 Xixo's life is thrown into turmoil by an object the gods must have sent from the sky (a Coke bottle), a bumbling scientist and a band of revolutionaries. In TGMBC 2 the comedy involves a poacher's truck that his children accidentally stow away in, a city lawyer and scientist whose plane crashes in the desert and two soldiers from opposite sides of a brewing war, all of whom cross paths with Xixo to hilarious ends.
