Jan Delvo is the loyal director-playwright of an amateur theatre group. Just when he is about to present his latest piece of writing, chairman Jos Vanbeneden announces that celebrity Stanny Krets has shown interest to coach the next season.

The amateur company cheerfully takes it annual bonding weekend in the Ardnees. Jan planned a traditional program, but various things go wrong and Stanny keeps ditching chores on Jan, stealing the show and proposing adventurous novelties, while flirting with Nora Wijs. Staying behind on dropping, Jan makes a painful fall but nobody comes look for him, Stanny the others into skinny diving.
