El gendarme y los extraterrestres

Here we have a film that perhaps only France could produce. A bumbling police inspector must protect the residents of St. Tropez from humanoid aliens with a taste for petroleum. The aliens are detectable by the garbage-can sound they make when touched. It's a French farce, and it knows it.
