Synopsis
Emma Kuster's husband inexplicably goes crazy at the factory where he's worked for some 20 years, killing the boss's son and then himself. In the aftermath, the grieving, naive widow is eaten alive by the press, her predatory daughter, and an upper-class husband and wife who wat to politicize Herr Kuster's last act into a worker's wrong-headed but revolutionary blow against capitalism.
