Geordies Dennis, Neville and Oz leave Britain to find work as bricklayers in Germany. While meeting the agent for the jobs they meet Barry Taylor, an electrician from Wolverhampton. As they are leaving they meet Wayne Norris a carpenter from London who asks for a lift but they say no. Later on in the journey, Oz's car breaks down on the autobahn, where he reveals that he had driven all the way to Germany with no insurance. Wayne passes them in a lorry and mimics the way they turned him down for a lift, whilst Dennis scolds Oz over his irresponsible behaviour. Arriving late to the site Dennis, Neville and Oz discover there are no more places at the hostel so they have to stay on the site in the hut. On the way to the hut they meet Bomber, a gentle giant of a brickie from the West Country. Barry arrives on his BSA motorbike. On their first weekend, the lads go out on the town to a brothel, where Bomber returns the following morning, admitting that he lost all his money gambling and now has to abandon his plan to quit and take up a job back home in Bristol. Meanwhile Neville, posing as a carpenter due to a lack of bricklaying vacancies, has an accident with a saw and decides to return home as he is homesick. Dennis persuades him to come out with the lads at the end of the week. He returns to the hut in the early hours of the morning and Dennis thinks he has lost all his money on booze and gambling, but as he empties his pockets Oz proclaims he is rich.
