Flebus is everybody's friend. When he meets new people, he befriends them instantly, offering a flower, a fish, an ice cream cone, or doing a trick. But he runs into a big brute named Rudolph, who refuses to be his friend. Flebus becomes obsessed and sleepless; finally, he visits a shrink, who tells Flebus he's neurotic. Rudolph then visits the same shrink, who tells him the same thing. Finally, they have something in common, and they become friends.
