THE NINE LIVES OF FRITZ THE CAT

In the 1970s, Fritz has graduated from college and is now married, on unemployment benefits and has a son named Ralphie, who often masturbates. As his wife, Gabrielle, berates him for his irresponsibility, Fritz smokes cannabis and imagines himself in nine different other lives.

In his first life, he meets his Puerto Rican friend Juan the camel and they discuss about Juan's sister Chita. At Juan's house, Chita complains about the odor of Fritz's cannabis, but is persuaded into smoking it. The drug sends Chita into arousal and she and Fritz have sex. Meanwhile, a pair of crows intending to rob the house change their minds and watch the pair. Their sex is interrupted by Chita's father, who shoots Fritz dead. The violent scene turns off the two crows who decide to come back another time.

In his second life, Fritz meets a drunken bum claiming to be God.

In his third life, Fritz is a soldier in Nazi Germany. After being caught having a ménage à trois with a commanding officer's wife and daughter, Fritz escapes and winds up being an orderly to Adolf Hitler. Fritz takes the form of a therapist, and analyzes Hitler, telling him that his world domination plans were just a way of getting attention. In the showers, Hitler "accidentally" drops his bar of soap and urges Fritz to pick it up for him, in an attempt to rape him, and ends up getting his single testicle blown off. Fritz is killed by an American tanker.

In his fourth life, Fritz attempts to sell a used condom to a liquor store owner named Niki. As the pair chat, Niki learns that his wife caught gonorrhoea from Fritz, angering him. Leaving the store, Fritz tells a passerby that he was an irresistible stud in the 1930s.

Fritz's fifth life is a psychedelic montage of old stock film and animation, vaguely illustrating Fritz's downfall in the 1930s (losing everything to excessive partying and drinking).

In his sixth life, Fritz tries to cash a welfare check with Morris, a Jewish toad who owns a pawn shop. Fritz offers Morris a deal: if Morris cashes Fritz's welfare check, then Fritz will give Morris a toilet seat. Morris initially refuses, but a sudden onset of diarrhea from the pickles he had been eating pushes him to accept. Instead of cashing Fritz's welfare check, he gives Fritz a space helmet.

Fritz envisions himself as a NASA astronaut in his seventh life and prepares for the first mission to Mars. During an interview with journalists, Fritz invites a crow reporter into the space shuttle to have sex. However, the shuttle takes off earlier than planned and it explodes in space.

In Fritz's eighth life, he sees the ghost of his dead friend, Duke. In the future, Henry Kissinger (who is represented a rat) has become the president and grants independence to New Jersey, which is renamed "New Africa". Fritz works as a courier and must deliver a letter to the president of New Africa. In New Africa's "Black House", the vice president assassinates the president and frames Fritz for the deed. A war breaks out between America and New Africa, Kissinger declares an unconditional surrender, and Fritz is executed.

In his final life, Fritz finds himself living in the sewers of New York, where he meets an Indian guru and Lucifer himself (who is represented as a purple cat with wings, horns, and a devil-like tail).

However, Gabrielle snaps Fritz out of his drug-induced fantasies, and finally throws Fritz out of their apartment to get him to improve their family for her. After a quick look at all of his lives, Fritz declares this life to be the worst and then leaves.
