After discovering that his neighbor's farmhand Gus (Benoît Delépine) has been sleeping with his wife, Ben (Gustave de Kervern) rides out into the fields to confront him. In the resulting fistfight, both men fall into the gaping jaws of a combine harvester. Upon awakening in the hospital paralyzed, the two rivals — now paraplegics — decide to hitchhike to Finland, where they hope to obtain a hefty settlement for their injuries at the corporate headquarters of the combine's manufacturer, Aaltra.
