Cash, the eldest son, breaks a leg when trying to rescue the drowning coffin. The increasingly heavy odor of putrefaction attracts a large group of vultures. Jewel, the third son, loses his beloved horse. Dell, the only daughter, is bullied by the shop assistant in pharmacy when intending to seize the chance to have an abortion in the town. The retarded youngest son fails to get his desired toy train. Only Anse the father marries a new wife after equipped with a pair of false teeth.
