Totally oblivious to the outside world, he spends his days disposing of the sick and injured chickens. But all the while he dreams of a life in the army - despite the fact his numerous applications have been rejected.

Soon Rubble finds himself involved in a murderous secret project, his only chance of escape is the help of the girl he has to kill.
