Plot

[edit]

Gus, a waiter at a cheap cafe falls in love with Rosy, the coffee cashier. To make fun of him, she tells him that if he wants to be with her, he must become an anarchist like her. Colleagues of Rosy attend the joke, pretending all to be the members of the band of fearsome anarchists. In the place where they meet, Gus is told that, to prove loyal, he must commit murder. But before the mission can be completed, some false policemen break into the bar.[1]
