The story begins when the protagonist, Arthur Dent discovers that some yellow bulldozers (which has just noted in his garden) are going to demolish the house (which still stands) to make room for a new highway. A few minutes later the inhabitants of planet Earth discover that they are going to have the same fate, but by a fleet of spaceships that appear suddenly in the yellow sky.
Arthur is rescued by an old friend, Ford Prefect, who turns out to be from the star Betelgeuse, and that brings with it asking for a transition to a demolition of the spaceships. Arthur discovers that an unknown universe, in the literal sense of the term, in which his only compass will be the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. This is a book in the form of a small computer (such as a handheld / UMPC to voice command), a best-selling Universal (Earth included) that sells well for two reasons: cheap, printed in large friendly letters on the cover the words "Do not panic."
Ford leads him to exciting and improbable adventures, tossed around for the space-time aboard the "Heart of Gold", which travels at infinite improbability drive, together with an old childhood friend of Ford with two heads, now former President of the Galaxy, Zaphod Beeblebrox, his girlfriend's land, Trillian, and a perpetually depressed robot, Marvin.
