The insurance salesman Vincent Baumann, a cold-blooded careerist and minion of a merciless system, becomes a victim of the very corporations he is representing. Degraded to a henchman he grimly struggles to get back on the job market. He fights to climb the social ladder. In the process he realizes that there are other values than income and success. He decides against his previous ideology and for another human being, for Lisa Sokulowa. They don’t have a future. But they celebrate a small triumph against the dominance of the ruling system.

Kater disembowels people for a living to give them to his employer, the doctor, and things are not going well for him. His girlfriend Maria has left him, he can’t remember the last time he won at the local rat races. He could start all over again, if he were ready to erase brains. His debts would be discharged, his honour re-established. But his professional ethos doesn't allow him to do that. He is in a dilemma.
