action

The narrator welcomes the two clay figures Pib and Pog. They both wave tentatively and the narrator asks Pog what he was doing that day. Pog was on the beach showing a shell that he found. The narrator praises him. The narrator continues in the style of a preschool program aimed at (young) children, curiously asking what Pib and Pog are doing when they start arguing over the clam, and continues in the same style as Pib and Pog close ever more drastic means of mutual combat are taking effect. Pib shoots Pog with a pistol and cannon, saws through him and burns him with acid, while Pog uses similar means. After both were torn into a thousand pieces by the bomb and then put back together again, the director announces the end of shooting. Pib and Pog fall into small talk, praise each other for the good cooperation and at the end stand on the dark stage. Pog offers Pib his hand and he is completely destroyed by an electric shock. Pog leaves the stage and is upset about Pib.
