Synopsis

The film deals in a humoristic tone, with the entire history of weapons from the time of the club to that of the atomic bomb. If we go on at the same pace, in the future a single drop spilled from the stills of a nuclear scientist shall be sufficient to destroy mankind. And we shall be compelled to start again with the clubs!
