At the station of Almamellék the semaphore turns red unexpectedly and the conductor shows a stowaway - with no money nor ticket - off the train. The stowaway has to undergo a serious and long investigation that tries to uncover the reasons for his "deed". In the meantime he can watch, like a spectator in a movie-theatre, how Kerek József, the strutting stationmaster rules his ridiculous empire through office bureaucracy, indifference, servility and negligence. The cashier, who only knows how to sway her hips and always sets the semaphore red, the station officer who feeds the swine, and the delivery official, who lives and deals in a coach set aside, play their petty games until an irregular tank-train arrives on the track where they expect a passenger train.
