감옥에서 출소한 프란츠 발쉬는 또다시 과거 사람들과 접촉을 시도한다. 프란츠는 애인 조안나에게 돌아가지만 곧 마가레테 때문에 조안나와 헤어지고 형 마리안을 찾아간다. 마리안은 귄터신디케이트의 지시를 따르지 않아 피살된다. 마리안은 수퍼마켓 습격을 계획했지만 이중으로 배신을 당한다. 즉 조안나로부터는 보복을 당하고, 마가레테로부터는 사랑의 배신을 당하게 된다. 이 습격으로 프란츠와 수퍼 주인이 피살된다.

Volker Schlöndorff transposes Bertolt Brecht’s late-expressionist work to latter-day 1969. Poet and anarchist Baal lives in an attic and reads his poems to cab drivers. At first feted and later rejected by bourgeois society, Baal roams through forests and along motorways, greedy for schnapps, cigarettes, women and men: ‘You have to let out the beast, let him out into the sunlight.’ After impregnating a young actress he soon comes to regard her as a millstone round his neck. He stabs a friend to death and dies alone. ‘You are useless, mangy and wild, you beast, you crawl through the lowest boughs of the tree.’

At an Austrian boys' boarding school in the early 1900s, shy, intelligent Törless observes the sadistic behavior of his fellow students, doing nothing to help a victimized classmate—until the torture goes too far. Adapted from Robert Musil's acclaimed novel, Young Törless launched the New German Cinema movement and garnered the 1966 Cannes Film Festival International Critics' Prize for first-time director Volker Schlöndorff.
