action
A man reading the newspaper receives an order over the radio to pick up a client in Bourdalou . In front of the house, on the other hand, a priest intercepts the radio message and follows the man who is riding a motorcycle to Bourdalou. The priest rams the motorcycle and the driver falls, so the priest arrives first in Bourdalou. Here he catches the pensioner Moulin just as he falls off a self-made ladder while looking for his piggy bank. The priest persuades Moulin that his greed will be the reason for his going to hell, and a short time later he presents him with the Ascension Capsule XV-750, which is supposed to make the journey to heaven particularly luxurious. Moulin wants to test the capsule first before signing a sales contract. The priest initially refuses, but then agrees: With great effort he throws glitter and cotton balls and the Moulin trapped inside the capsule believes he is actually in a perfect heavenly world. He signs the sales contract.
A short time later you can hear a motorcycle arriving at the house. Death in person appears to take away Mr Moulin, who died a few minutes ago in search of a red piggy bank. The priest has received the money stocking from Moulin as payment for the capsule, is mistaken for Moulin by death and beheaded. Moulin says goodbye to death happily with a glass of alcohol. When he is alone, he climbs curiously into the capsule and closes the door from the inside with a red button - and is now trapped alone in the ball.
