The story

The film is prefaced by a short story that begins "Once Upon a Time", a silent, black-and-white film that depicts an unnamed country filled with peasant labourers. They pick coffee beans while armed foremen push rudely between them. One worker pockets a few beans for himself ("Coffee for the Breakfast Table"), but he is discovered by a foreman.
