One night, while on a field trip to tape the whistling wind for a horror movie, he hears the air punctured by the explosion of an automobile tire and sees a car careen through a bridge railing and into the water below.

Breaking down into couples, the six alternately hug, slice meat, look tough, read maps through glasses of Chablis, practice foreplay, wade in rivers, listen to New Wave on a tape recorder, and become good friends with the Masai tribesmen, who obviously know a smart buy when they see one.
