The butcher Klumbach has recently moved to the city. The pub on the corner becomes his regular haunt. He has already settled in a little when a new regular appears. Brestenzki, a tout and would-be pimp, takes Klumbach for a spin and introduces him to an "acquaintance": Struck. Klumbach wants to get to know her. Struck and Klumbach spend a harmonious night together, which ends early in the morning in her bed. After a short sleep, Klumbach is served a special breakfast by Brestenzki.
