A coin operated mechanical orchestra meet their destruction when a disgruntled customer objects to their money making scheme. The destruction of the orchestra has an imploding effect on the film reality of the customer showing the co-dependence of viewer and screen. summary of film The grotesque form of the Pixilated customer arriving at a corner shop begins The Death of an Orchestra in which the inhabitants of a mysterious mechanical coin operated theatre use a variety of schemes to rob the passer-by of their money. The stopmotion puppets offer of a free coin entices the customer to spend more to view increasingly shorter performances of their ramshackle music. When the puppets resort to obvious begging tactics the hideous customer, who was at first enchanted by their magical spectacle, becomes angry and destroys the orchestra, finding their destruction means the end of his own existence as the curtains simultaneously close on both viewer and performer.

The Turk R. and the German M. are buddies. R. works as a bartender in a hip Mexican margarita joint, and M. as a cook in an African restaurant which specializes in shark dishes. They each have 2 girlfriends at a time since they believe in the "polygamic nature of men" and that "their body needs the change". Unfortunately their 4 girlfriends -- all of which are modern women - do not share those philosophical views and raise hell once they discover the double timing. - This is Chapter 1 "Good Morning, You Handsome Guy!" - Chapter 2-6 to follow.
