In this energetic, fast-paced film (in typical SABU-style), three men find themselves in separate predicaments. Singer Hiroshi is being kidnapped by his biggest fan, ex-convict Tetsuo is facing retribution after taking revenge on the gangsters who put him in jail, and Takeru is convinced that doing three good deeds a day will bring back his comatose girlfriend. A humorous, absurdist black comedy.

Hij gelooft echter dat het doen van drie goede daden haar weer zal doen ontwaken.
