If It Don't Fit, Use a Bigger Hammer

Das Ruhrgebiet. Heute. Zwei Baustellen in einem Neubaugebiet, direkt nebeneinander, zwei konkurrierende Bauunternehmen, die von zwei zerstrittenen Brüdern geführt werden. Während die Firma Wiesenkamp Hoch&Tief gut organsiert und mit modernster Ausrüstung eine geschmacklose Villa hochzieht, baut auf dem Nachbargrundstück Werner Wiesenkamp Bau mit traditioneller Improvisationstechnik, frei nach dem Motto des Vorarbeiters Horst: Wat nich’ passt, wird passend gemacht!

Kümmel, Kalle and Horst work for the contractor Werner Wiesenkamp, ​​who runs a small construction company in Bergkamen in the district of Unna. Since Kümmel, Kalle and Horst are constantly clammy and the boss Wiesenkamp lives on a large foot, the three employees persuade the boss on his garden party to hire a Polish illegal worker.

First, however, he lands on the neighboring construction site, where the construction company of Wiesenkamps brother Ernst builds. As the misunderstanding clears up and the polisher brings Jochen Philipp to the correct construction site, the contrast could not be greater: While the construction site of Wiesenkamp's brother looks professional, everything seems messy and improvised on the other construction site. However, until Wiesenkamp arrives and brings Marek to the Poles, Philipp von Kümmel, Kalle and Horst are regarded as additional workers, with Horst in particular harassing Philipp the academic at every opportunity. Philip should u. a. scaffolding, but instead tries to rebook his flight to Kuala Lumpur. Kümmel, Kalle and Horst stage Marek's death by falling down from the scaffolding to allow Wiesenkamp to pay for their silence. Philipp, who sees himself as guilty of Marek's "accident", sets off to alert the ambulance. When this arrives at the construction site, there is no indication of an accident. After work, Kümmel, Kalle and Horst seem to let Marek's "corpse" disappear by cutting them up with a circular saw, packing them in plastic bags and setti
