A woman goes to the garage where a young man works on his car, they walk into a grain silo next door and have sex: he backs her face and chest into a silo wall, reaches under her short denim skirt and removes her panties, he pushes his body against hers in a close-up and a longer shot, and she walks away, falls down, giggles and we see her panties back on when she spreads her legs.
We hear grunts and groans outside a farm supply building and the camera cuts to an inside office window where we see a couple from the waist-up; he wears a short-sleeved shirt and she wears a bra (with her back to the camera) as he thrusts and groans loudly; he stops and zips his pants (we see no nudity) as she replaces her blouse.

A man argues with an older man, pushes him against a wall and drives to a cornfield where he confronts another man: the two men fight with many punches and chokeholds, they roll into the cornfield and struggle until one man picks up a hammer from the ground and hits the other man in the temple; the stricken man stares, we see a small amount of blood on his head and he falls dead; the killer and another man dump the body and the hammer into a cistern.
A new NASACAR-type driver gets rammed several times by other cars, panics and backs off the accelerator; he leaves the track, get into his car, drives through a cornfield and into a large tree trunk in a suicide attempt, the car smokes and his head rests on the steering wheel as the camera cuts to a hospital room where he lies under a sheet in bed, his lip cut and his nose and forehead bruised; nurses check several tubes and IV bags as he watches listlessly and he goes home in a few days and walks with a cane for a short time.
