Allan, on his 100th bday decides to run away from the nursing home and his party.... At a litle step litle step speed which is funny because he outruns everyone. This way he starts a bizarre adventure that includes a suitcase, an elephant and some bibles... We get to know Allan's life too. How he met Truman, Churchill, Stalin, Mao and many others changing history... This wasnt serious of course.. Dunno what to think.

So Allan spent a couple of hours instructing Herbert as to what he should say—just one sentence in Russian, but a very important one: “I am Marshal Meretskov from the Soviet Union—take me to your leader!”

Marshal Herbert had rehearsed his single sentence endlessly, and now he said:
—I am your leader, take me to … the Soviet Union.
