Story
Racing driver Richard Fox (Jones in the script) during a rally by catastrophic accident, drives off the track and knocks down his own brother, Tom. Trying to save at least one of the brothers, the surgeon transplants some of the surviving organs (namely 48.5% of the body) of Tom into Richard's body. As a result, Richard acquires some features of his brother.
Court cases fall on him. The insurance company refuses to pay insurance for the deceased Tom, because, they say, Tom is not completely dead. Tom’s wife demands that Fox either admit to Richard and give her insurance for Tom, or admit to Tom and return to her and the children. Fox runs to the lawyer in a panic, but he cannot do anything.
At the next rally, Fox again had an accident during a turn. This time he knocks down his daughter-in-law, two more women and a dog. And again, the surgeon transplanted into Fox a part of the organs of other victims, and even the dog. As a result, Fox becomes like a woman in her mindset and tries to bite her psychiatrist.
Finally, after the third rally, Fox comes back to the lawyer. The lawyer wants to tell him that he did not have time to do anything, but it turns out that this is not Fox, but his navigator. Their car was in a disaster again, but this time the navigator survived - thanks to the transplantation of Fox organs into his body.
