action
Ali Usta (Usta translated means "master") is an enterprising ice cream man from the Mediterranean region of Turkey. To revive his business, he takes out a loan from the bank. He wants to use it to finance a small motor scooter and have a TV advertisement produced on a small local TV station. He wants to increase his profit through the medium of television and motorized sales. In particular, the industrial "ice lolly" competition is very troubling for him, because it attracts more customers than his homemade ice cream with "plenty of milk and plenty of sugar" (as opposed to the popsicle, consisting of "water, Color and sugar ").
As soon as Ali started his sales tour through the villages, the scooter and the ice cream trailer were stolen by a gang of children. Ali firmly believes this is a plot by the big ice cream companies. And so, without realizing that his scooter was "kidnapped" by a band of cheeky boys from the area, he started the fight from village to village against the sellers of the worldwide ice cream brands.
After Ali resignedly gives up his search, leaves a not too serious attempted suicide and learns wisdom from his old neighbor, one "gang" member after the other falls ill. The excessive consumption of ice cream was not good for the youngsters. In the middle of the night they have to go to the local infirmary. The attending physician is amazed by the similar symptoms in the children, they all have a cold. The "gang" head confessed to the act, the police were notified and the case closed.
So the missing scooter finds its way back to its long-suffering and enterprising owner.
