Two humorists, Luc and Marco, travel to small Quebec theaters, ridiculing a new "fathead" each night to the audience's delight. In Anse-au-Pic, they target shy snack bar cook Roger Gendron, but it's a bad choice. Roger, a madman, takes revenge by trapping the comedians in a cage. To gain their freedom, Luc and Marco ask Roger to teach them comedy and become the town's star, a deal he surprisingly accepts.
