A dead dog is found lying in the middle of the road in the morning causing inconvenience in the neighborhood for the people who are not prepared to dispose of it. They carry on with their petty squabbles and routine activities hoping that someone will rid them of this problem. At night they all go to sleep but are woken up by an unbearable stench.
They discover the body of the dead dog has mysteriously disappeared but not the stench. There is total disarray and everyone starts accusing the other of being the source of the stench Ultimately the local mullah distributes the incense stick so that the people can protect their noses but the source of stench remains.
