Plot[]
The course of true love never did run smooth. Two octopuses entwine in an embrace when a hand reaches from above, plucks them out of the water, disentangles them, tosses the male back in what we now see is a small aquarium, puts the female in a cold storage box, and heads for a delivery truck. The male octopus recovers from the initial shock and gives pursuit, grabbing the back of the truck as it leaves, then working himself to the front. As the driver tries to thwart his efforts to save his woman, the truck careens through the small coastal town. Will he succeed? Do other perils await?
