Plot
Two greedy men engage the services of a corrupt chief to sell a piece of an ancestral land for kickbacks. The new landowners are a petroleum company. The oracle; mouthpiece of the gods however reveal that the land belongs to the deities of the land and therefore not fit for a petrol station. The land sellers die suddenly and the chief realises he is next. He goes to the oracle for help. The oracle tells him that he will survive if he can prevent the body of the second co-conspirator from being buried. The story follows his futile attempts to prevent the eventual burial. The oracle gives him a second chance but he runs away and is faced by a series of unfortunate events. He eventually makes his way home and finds that he has been presumed dead. He attempts to reclaim his traditional title but the spirits of his co-conspirators come for his life.
