They worked together for nearly forty years, and during that period, Kees van Kooten and Wim de Bie produced hundreds of hours of television. Initially with 'Hadimassa' and 'Het Gat van Nederland', and later with the 'Simplisties Verbond'. For years, they were the standard for humor and satire on television. They enriched the language with dozens of self-invented words – from *doemdenken* (doom thinking) to *regelneef* (control freak). They received the Silver Nipkow Disc twice. In 1985, they were awarded the Honorary Nipkow Disc for their entire television oeuvre. This documentary offers a unique glimpse into a wealth of archival material and visits and interviews Van Kooten and De Bie themselves.
