The film is presented as a safety instruction video for
forklift truck drivers and shows the first day of work for newly qualified forklift truck driver Klaus. The film highlights, in a gory manner, the dangers of unsafe operation of machinery, as well as inattention as a result of chitchatting and distraction by a female coworker passing by. Shortly after Klaus' first operation of the forklift, he nearly hits a co-worker leaving the warehouse through the garage door, where walking is forbidden, instead of the pedestrian exit door. While this causes no injury, it hints at what would be coming. As the film progresses, the injuries/deaths become more brutal, beginning with things like a man falling from the forklift after he was lifted on a bare wooden platform rather than in a safety cage, and closing with the most violent: ending in a stray chainsaw being driven around by a severed arm on the floor, reaching and ripping through a man who had already been cut in half waist-down due to Klaus' previous accident. A gory POV shot of the chainsaw chopping through the man is shown. The warehouse's alarm bell ends up falling from its mount due to corrosion from blood stains and lands on a head as apparent from a screaming sound. The film ends as Klaus is decapitated by the chainsaw and two men are left impaled onto the forklift prongs, screaming. The forklift drives off into the sunset as the impaled men continue to scream with the chainsaw racing after them. The closing musical theme, "Happyland", was written by French composer Laurent Lombard. == Cast ==
