A man who is reading the newspaper, on radio receives the order to pick up a client in Bourdalou. Before the house again a priest collects the radio message and followed the man driving a motorcycle after Bourdalou. The priest rams the bike and the rider falls, so that the priest arrives first in Bourdalou. Here he catches the pensioners Moulin on just as it falls in the search for his piggy bank of a home-made ladder. The priest speaks to Moulin, that his avarice would be the reason that he will go to hell, and later presented to him a short time the Assumption capsule XV- 750, which should make the trip to heaven especially luxurious. Moulin wants to test the capsule just before he signs a contract. The priest refuses at first, then true however: With great effort he throws glitter and cotton balls and trapped inside the capsule Moulin believes actually in a perfect sky world to be. He signs the contract of sale.

A short time later I hear a motorcycle at the house arrive. The death appears in person to take Mr. Moulin, who had fallen to death a few minutes ago looking for a red piggy bank. The priest has received the piggy bank of Moulin as payment for the capsule is held and beheaded by the death of Moulin. Moulin passed from death cheerfully with a glass of alcohol. When he is alone, he gets curious in the capsule and closes the door from the inside with a red button - and is now trapped alone in the ball.
