Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect are thrown off the Vogon space ship by the captain, having been subjected to hearing Vogon poetry. Once again they are rescued, this time by Zaphod Beeblebrox, on the ship The Heart of Gold. Also on board are Marvin, the permanently depressed robot, and the only other survivor of the human race, Trillian. As Zaphod had stolen the ship the cops are after them.
