Story Plot of Man Vs Bee
Man Vs Bee follows Trevo (Rowan Atkinson), a well-hearted dad looking to get his life back on track so that he can go on holiday with his beloved daughter. Luckily he has just found a new job at Housesitters Deluxe, where workers house-sit for clients when they are away from their homes, more like a temporary housekeepers.
So on his first job, he ends up taking care of a very wealthy woman’s luxurious mansion filled with the classic wealthy person aesthetics, including expensive sculptures, fancy cars, and even an automated piano. There is also a dog named Cupcake, but for the most part, the job seems pretty easy when it starts.
But things take a huge turn when a sneaky bumblebee enters the house and begins to annoy Trevor to the point where he proceeds to a war on the flying to remove him from the residence.
Unfortunately, the bee is not an enemy that can get rid of with ease. It manages to avoid every weapon that the hapless Trever uses, including a microwave, a whisk, various toxic aerosols, and even a flame thrower.
Clash with the bee
It’s simple that, despite the size, the bee has the advantage over that poor man who becomes increasingly frantic in his journey to get rid of it. You will be busy laughing rather than feeling sorry for him. Atkinson is always very comfortable with his special brand of physical comedy.
Whether he’s dancing around in front of a policeman because the bee has flown inside his trouser or swinging his arms around in a desperate way to trigger the motion-controlled closets, Atkinson manages to make us laugh with his funny face and dramatic bodily movements.
We all knew from the very beginning that Trever will cause chaos in such ways, not because of the show’s opening court scene but the starting sequence within the mansion.
