This work begins with the setting of Leo Gala's house where Leo and Philip are beating eggs. One character offers another to "go away then, if [he] want[s] to," but immediately laughs and notes that "he can't go away! He is obliged to stay here, indissolubly bound to the chain."

At the end of this play, one character reveals that a boy was standing in a fountain looking at his little sister who had drowned, and that boy is proclaimed dead after a gunshot is heard offstage.
