While under the brutal interrogation of the Syndicate, Franz (Rainer Werner Fassbinder), a small-time pimp from Berlin, strikes up a friendship with Bruno (Ulli Lommel), another criminal recruit. Despite their persuasive methods, Franz refuses to join the organization. Instead, he teams with Bruno on a small wave of shoplifting and murder. But Franz's prostitute girlfriend Joanna (Hanna Schygulla) is distrustful of the gangster-and when Bruno begins planning a bank robbery, she makes some arrangements of her own.
