A German Shepherd Dog and the people he loves are entangled in World War One.

While their degenerate descendant sleeps, ancestral portraits come alive and admonish him.

A woman with a taste for expensive clothing has four nightmares. An impoverished disabled girl sells her hair, a trapper finds he has an unfaithful wife, the wife of a dying weaver finds she cannot work the loom, and a model harassed by her boss is driven to murder.

The theft of an important document from the ambassador's residence leads his daughter to investigate the crime.

A random passer-by is invited to a bachelor party of rich men where he tells a tale of loss to those present.
