Synopsis

Muro (Mustafa Üstündağ) and Çeto (Şefik Onatoğlu), just released from prison, decide to return to their hometown to start a grassroots revolution. The first phase of their plan is to find two girls, get married and start their own families to become good exemplars of revolutionists. However, a surprise awaits them in their hometown. The village head has married Muro and Çeto to two Russian women while they were in prison. The two now have to return to İstanbul to find the women to whom they were married and get divorces if they want to realize their ideals. But on their return to the big city, they stumble across a massive illegal organization that they will never be able to decipher.
