Synopsis
The senseless murder of a conscientious bank employee, who kills a janitor with an axe, forms the starting point of the plot. The responsible prosecutor wakes up in the middle of the night, as the case of this axe murderer does not let him rest. He perceives the act without a recognizable motive as an outbreak of the monotony of everyday life, as an indictment against a life that consists only of deferred responsibility. While his wife Else turns away from him in incomprehension, the young maid Hilde joins him and tells the lawyer the legend of Count Öderland.
