Chicago after the stock market crash: One crisis is followed by the next, and where can you make easy savings during an inflation? On vegetables. Even the ever-popular cauliflower is left on the shelves. Chicago’s greengrocers are desperate. Only yesterday they were well-known and confident as the world’s leading cauliflower grocers, today they have gone bankrupt. One man’s meat is another man’s poison, and Chicago’s crime boss Arturo Ui smells an opportunity.

But the illustrious dinner party who have gathered at Mr and Mrs Nobile’s house don’t seem to want to leave. Even though everyone is starting to flag and decorum demands it. Something prevents the guests from leaving. Time passes. An entire night. And still, no one is capable of leaving the salon. The door is wide open. No external obstacle that prevents the involuntary fellowship from leaving can be identified. Unwillingly, they all stay put and conventions, reason and morals threaten to erode…
