In the film, Ding and Dong are aspiring comedians, who begin performing door-to-door comedy shows but find their collaboration threatened when a wealthy dying man names them as the heirs in his will, leaving them $30 million toward the creation of their own theatre company and thus sparking creative disagreements between the two as to their future direction. The film's cast also includes Raymond Bouchard, Jean Lapointe, Yves Pelletier, Linda Sorgini and Anne Dorval.

At the 12th Genie Awards, the film won the Golden Reel Award as the top-grossing Canadian film of the year.[2]
