Felix is thrown out of his owners’ home for walking on the piano keys. He meets a poet writing the maxim, "Roses are red; if you are blue, beyond the horizon lie riches for you.” Felix walks across the ocean to England, where he is chased by customs officials and escapes on a horse borrowed from a statue. Soccer players kick Felix across France to Egypt. Later Felix re-encounters the poet and, having found no riches, knocks him toward the horizon with a cane.
