In 18th century Prussia, a man giving off the foulest stench imaginable is found wandering the streets eating anything he can get his hands on. When he is arrested by the authorities, he claims he is a French spy, carrying top secret documents inside a wooden box that he has swallowed. After waiting for nature to take its course, the authorities realise that the strange man is indeed telling the truth. Little do they know the extent of his extraordinary eating habits, from cutlery to rocks, to a much more sinister menu than anyone could have imagined. But who was this outlandish individual and, more importantly, what was causing his behaviour? Join Barry and Lora as they explore the life of the French showman and criminal Tarrare.
