Property Is No Longer Theft

Total is a bank employee who lives with his old father. He despises money, to which his skin is highly allergic and loathes those who pile up money through theft or business. Total sees in the person of a burcher who has made a fortune the symbol of financial hoarding. The bank employee decides to persecute the butcher and he begins, day after day, to steal something from him, is hat his knife, and finally, his mistress. The tradesman discovers the guilty party and tries to bribe him by offering him huge sums of money. Total doesn't give in and even sets up a partnership with a profesional thief to take over the possessions of the wealthy. The butcher is tired of being persecuted and considers he has no option but to kill Total.
