The director of a large metallurgical plant, Zorenko, develops and sends to the ministry a project for the reorganization of the enterprise, although the implementation of the plan would require a shutdown of production. Gruzdev, a responsible employee of the ministry, fearing a decrease in overall targets, insists on a partial reorganization. Under pressure from "above" Zorenko signs a project that he considers unacceptable. But realizing the illegality of the decision, he resumes the struggle for the radical reorganization of the plant.

After the lewd and frenetic Dance of the Seven Veils, and with the solemn pledge from the very lips of Herod himself that she could have whatever her heart desires up to half his kingdom, wanton and proud young Salomé comes before her king with an unreasonable demand. Beguiled by John the Baptist, and then scorned for the sake of his god, lascivious Salomé—encouraged by her mother, the vindictive, Herodias—commands that John be executed and his head delivered on a silver platter.
