In Breda, a construction company wants to take advantage of the new times to build a luxury housing development on the outskirts of town. Despite the discrepancies among the partners and the apprehension in the face of such an ambitious project, the substantial anticipated profits spur them to embark on the venture. But the body of one of the partners suddenly appears in one of the recently built homes. An unsuccessful pianist, who completes his humble earnings by getting rid of uncomfortable animals and pets, seems to be the main suspect behind the death of the builder.
