A critical picture of negative social phenomena, created using the method of confronting scenes, shown in an expressively enhanced perspective. Franek — a crafty fellow and crook — makes friends with Rysio, an inspector, who is carrying out an inspection of a meat processing plant. Franek becomes his assistant.
