Gérard, Jean, Phil et Jean-Guy sont à l'armée, mais le sergent Bellec qui s'occupe d'eux ne les lâche pas d'une semelle. Les quatre compères préférant passer leur temps à jouer aux cartes en prison, ils restent à faire des bêtises et à se faire taper sur les doigts, comme quand ils sont chargés un jour de réchauffer la piscine du colonel. Par erreur, ils envoient du mazout dans la piscine, inondent la cave du colonel de mazout et se retrouvent coincés avec le sergent et le colonel. Un jour, ils parviennent à s'évader et se réfugient dans une ferme que l'armée veut réquisitionner parce qu'elle se situe sur un de ses terrains.

A series of interweaving stories tell the journey of a handgun—specifically, a long-barreled revolver with a blue-steel finish, whose caliber is not specified—as it passes from one owner to another. Some of these owners are lawless; others are law-abiding and, indeed, law enforcers. But in all the time it passes between its various owners, it is never actually fired (aside from the one test-firing it underwent at the factory) and is never shown actually to discharge any ammunition.

Children of a bootlegger in an extremely remote area of the U.S. have been orphaned when their mother died giving birth to the 7th of them at home and the distraught father fell off the roof of the house in a drunken stupor (information disseminated in the body of the film). The oldest child, desperate to keep the remainder of his family together, has managed to keep the fate of his parents secret from the surrounding community due to the nearly inaccessible locale, resources available to keep the farm running smoothly and well trained, vicious watchdogs. However, the minors feel need for guidance and are looking for replacement guardians going about it by sending the smaller, irresistibly cute moppets on errands requiring them to travel along local roads. The youngsters cajole people considerate enough to pick them up into taking them home. Guests are then maneuvered into staying so they can be put through an evaluation process at the end of which the children decide whether or not the candidates fit their idea of good parents. Those who do not cut muster are free to go, so says the oldest sibling and his word has never been doubted amongst the rest of the family. The new candidates for parenthood put up determined resistance and begin to exasperate the quietly tyrannical older child; but affection for the new couple and maturation are making the other children wonder about their method of choosing parental guidance and just where "all the kind strangers" are going when they leave.
