A stranger enters a local bar, the daily hangout of guys from a nearby betting shop. The stranger leaves a box there, asking them to keep it for him without opening it. However, curiosity takes the upper hand and they open it. When the stranger catches them in the act, the situation becomes complicated. While the audience agrees that the stranger is right, they too are curious. The fact that the ‘bad guys’ in the film are driven by the same urge as the viewers places the audience in an ambivalent position.
