The story

The story is set in a 20th-century society endangered by power and greed and imagines the rebellion of the "little people" against corrupt and soulless authority. A group of prominent men—The Reverend, The General, The Commissar, The Chairman and The Broker—meet at a café to discuss how they can increase their already massive fortunes. The Prospector eventually approaches them with his offer.
