A tribe of primitive “mudpeople” discovers a rolling croquet ball in their forest and follows it to a sprawling, abandoned Long Island estate. Inside, they adopt the manners, clothing and roles of a weekend party’s upper‑class guests, creating an allegory of bourgeois behavior. Eventually they regress, culminating in a chaotic croquet duel before they retreat back into the woods.
