Jacob Haugaard and Finn Nørbygaard, Danish comedy team in the "dumb and dumber" tradition, establish their own private detective agency at a car-wrecking dump, then set out to ensnare clients. Once they have one, they proceed to make a hopeless mess out of everything for everybody. They remain, of course, blissfully unaware of their own ineptitude. For Danish audiences, regional dialects add to the fun.
