The footage, taken from a 1988 anti-drug presidential address by both Ronald and Nancy Reagan, has been reedited to suggest the inauguration of a pro-drug campaign in the United States.

In 1988, the scene was set for a showdown between the Martini Lancia team that had dominated 1987, and the rejuvenated Mazda team wanting to forget a disappointing season. While the works Lancia Delta HF 4WDs of Bruno Saby and Miki Biasion led the way, the Mazda 323s of Timo Salonen, Hannu Mikkola and Ingvar Carlsson were in trouble - diesel-contaminated fuel ruining their effort. When Biasion retired, the Lancias of Group N Champion Alessandro Fiorio and Yves Loubet joined the battle for victory. Loubet's luck ran out with the end in sight, his Lancia crashing into retirement. Behind Saby and the Jolly Club-backed Delta of Fiorio, Jean-Pierre Ballet's Peugeot 205 GTi took unexpected third. Incredibly, former World Champion Salonen recovered from 42nd to take fifth, just behind the battle-scarred Renault 11 Turbo of Alain Oreille. Enjoy incredible action, interviews with the stars and some spectacular 'moments' in these excellent highlights.

In the film, we see at first glance a harmless pet, a Great Dane-Harlequin breed. Then we see the man, the trainer, and we hear him order several times: Slaughter it, slaughter it! In the end, the dog becomes an obedient executioner, and it kills bloodthirsty. At that time, a bloody war was being prepared, and different, far more sinister trainers appeared: national leaders. They trained the brain of the Balkan man to kill and slaughter... The film is not about dogs, it is not a document or a testimony, but a metaphor about the transfer of evil from ideologues to executors.
