In Sydney, 'Tank' male foils a plan by 'Bat' man to steal gold and uses a tank to stop him, turning himself into a hero over night. The plot then transitions into the backstory of how 'Tank' man became who he is. Through a series of comic series and odd training montages, the audience is introduced to Tankman's coach, Alfred.

Alfred trains Tankman with unorthodox training techniques that include teaching him to take bullets and avoid stones to prepare him for his face-off with Bat man. In the middle of all of this, the romantic attraction between Rachel and Tankman is meant, with Rachel providing him the tank-shaped locket he wears throughout the film, symbolizing his improvement.
