An older man insists on marrying three wives despite warnings about his age and limited resources. He argues that having three wives will secure more food rations before his upcoming military draft, increasing his strength and chances of survival. Skeptics question if he can support the three women on his land and criticize his plan as reckless. The local authority reluctantly approves the marriages but issues a harsh warning: failure to report properly in a month could cost him his life. The episode ends with the man determined to proceed, leading the three women forward, facing uncertain consequences ahead.
