Tjokkie Herington (Bill Flynn) and Crispin Wentzel (Paul Slab) are watching a rugby match in a bar. When Crispin sees that the Springboks are losing, in a blind rage he destroys the bar's television. The bar-goers decide to steal Crispin's own TV to replace the one he broke. When his wife, Celeste discovers, she makes an ultimatum with him: If he does not get another TV, he'll be kicked out of the house. Tjokkie and Crispin decide to take a bet with their rival, Ratkas Koekemoor(Brendan Gealy) that Crispin can beat him in the Comrades marathon, the winner gets 5000 rand. Tjokkie then puts Crispin through a rigorous training schedule which include him climbing a water tank, running on a treadmill with a lot of obstacles and chasing a remote controlled "fowl". The duo then head for Durban to race in the Comrades, unaware that Celeste has hired private investigator, Dolores Domingo(Nazli George) to spy on Crispin. At the hotel, Crispin and Tjokkie encounter Svetlana(Vanessa Harris) a Russian comrade who recently discovered her boyfriend, former KGB-Trainer Vladimir Brutunov(Robin Smith) attempted to seduce a cleaning lady. She decides to take revenge by having sex with Crispin, who is more than eagar at the proposition. Tjokkie is less than optimistic. The day comes and Crispin manages to beat Ratkas because he got drunk with famous Comrades runner, Bruce Fordyce. Crispin is severely injured by the race and decides he cannot "gooi"(South African slang for mess (sex)) with Svetlana. Meanwhile, Tjokkie has become friends with Brutunov, but finds it hard to communicate with him. A farce begins when Tjokkie continuously has to stall Brutunov as he attempts to find Svetlana, who is trying to congugal with Crispin, all while Domingo is watching, she also develops a relationship for Tjokkie. Eventually, after telling an exxagerated story of David and Goliath, Tjokkie is mistaken for the one having an affair with Svetlana and is almost murdered by Brutunov, who accidentally drinks Crispin's urine which has neutralizing drugs in it(Crispin had previously taken a steroid to survive the pain of his injury, called a "military booster shot"). Brutunov becomes incapacitated and Domingo mercifully lets Crispin off the hook. In the end, the steroid wares off and incapacitates Crispin. And the credits role:
