Coming around a bend, saturated and noisy images introduce a murky day on a country road as rhythmically a wiper chops across the windshield, and thusly the point-of-view. The titular goats, on an abrupt cut, introduce themselves (seemingly one of the goats is the same as in Elam’s “Monterey 81); several gentlemen accompany the goats. Close-ups and continued abrupt cuts veil the meaning of the event until halfway through the film. With little introduction, the goats fornicate. The men exchange papers and money, consummating the breeding.

Coming around a bend, saturated and noisy images introduce a murky day on a country road as rhythmically a wiper chops across the windshield, and thusly the point-of-view. The titular goats, on an abrupt cut, introduce themselves (seemingly one of the goats is the same as in Elam's "Monterey 81); several gentlemen accompany the goats. Close-ups and continued abrupt cuts veil the meaning of the event until halfway through the film. With little introduction, the goats fornicate.
