The plot is simple: in South Africa lives a White and a Negro brother, born of the same woman. They live in a hovel, the White man as the Black brother's servant. The White man cooks and the Black man brings home the money. They are saving to buy a farm to which they hope to retire. The threat to this dream is that the Negro wants a woman. The White brother's solution is a lonely hearts club, and the answer that comes back is a picture of a very attractive White woman. The White brother wants to burn the letter, but the Negro invites her to visit. Brotherly love devolves into humiliation as they await a visit that will never occur.
