첼로 연주자인 다이고(모토키 마사히로)는 어렵게 오케스트라에 자리를 얻지만 입단하자마자 재정난으로 오케스트라가 해체된다. 거액의 대출까지 받아 첼로를 구입한 그는 생계가 막막해지자 고향 야마가타로 돌아갈 계획을 세운다. 아내(히로스에 료코)와 함께 돌아가신 어머니가 물려준 집으로 이사를 한 다이고는 고수익 보장에 초보 환영이라는 구인 광고를 발견하고 지원한다. 여행 도우미라는 문구를 보고 찾아갔으나 그곳은 납관 전문회사. 기겁하는 다이고에게 사장(야마자키 쓰토무)은 고액의 월급을 제안한다. 임시방편으로 일을 시작한 다이고는 첫날부터 호된 신고식을 치르고 회의와 갈등에 빠지지만, 사장의 프로다운 직업 정신과 사자를 보내는 경건한 태도에 감화되어 조금씩 생각이 바뀐다.
On a charming magical island, the impulsive Bee and her furry pal get up to all sorts of adventures while working for an intergalactic temp agency.
Bee is a young lady trying to make her way in the world. She often acts before thinking, which can lead her into trouble (and adventure!). She also has a strong, nurturing personality, and doesn’t think twice about taking in Puppycat when he needs help. Although her laid-back-space-casey attitude and lack of skills tend to keep her from maintaining a job for long in the human world, she isn’t someone who easily gives up, and with the experiences she gains at the magical temp agency she stumbles on, she’ll finally have the chance to find out what she’s meant to do with her life.
