Four tramps inhabit a deserted train station. They desperately wish to escape this godforsaken place. Under the despotic directorship of Meto, they endlessly train for getting on the Train. But no trains stop at the deserted station. And so, their lives are wasted in endless rehearsals, drinking and grumbling about the dictatorial Meto. A train stops one day, and throws off another alcoholic, Harry.
