Bicycle shop. Two owner-sellers: Oscar, a lover of women and beer, and Fred, a lover of books and his ever-improving French racing bike. Once Oscar, in order to continue his acquaintance with a lover of cycling, contrary to the will of his companion, took his "favorite" for a ride and returned late at night. Seeing the sloppy appearance of the bicycle, Fred loses his temper and begins to shred it with a knife and break it with his hands. As a result, the "favorite" is behind the store. The next time Fred and Oscar look at the back yard, they find the bike safe and sound. This gives birth to Fred, recently acquainted with a number of books on biology, a strange idea for Oscar.
