Synopsis: Coltrane is a salesman at an expo for the post-futuristic home. He sells robots, and other innovative ways to remove the necessity of your life. De Vito is a rival salesman also selling the same products. The movie starts with general one-upmanship and attempting to outsell the other company. Conveniently they are located next to each other. Their one-upmanship progresses into sabotaging each others equipment and sales pitches. This sabotage causes robot malfunctions.

The robots start trashing the place and killing people. After the initial slaughter the move onto hunting down the surviving humans in the facility. Whilst you may think that they would team up to destroy the robots. This is not the case as they attempt to lure each other into their robots deadly traps.

Eventually they realise that to survive the ordeal themselves they need to turn their own robots off (no one else can). Upon doing this they get arrested and end up cell-mates and the one-upmanship continues as the screen fades to black.
