The plot is basically the standard MMO quest loop of "Kill X creatures and bring me their pelts to get a better weapon." Our hero Jean Kayak has to kill beavers, get their pelts, and bring them back to the merchant in exchange for better and better weapons. He gears up over the course of the film and goes from struggling to kill a single beaver to taking out multiple a time.
What's most impressive is that in addition to being an odd love letter to the structure of video games, it ties it all together with the comedy of Looney Tunes and 1920s silent films.
