A celebration of "Enterprise Britain"; the progress of two nightshift cleaners in a towering exhibition centre. Primed for a royal visitor the following day, the delicate automated infrastructure of the building is compromised by two idiots looking for somewhere to plug in their hoover. Nightmareish video and mechanical apparitions steal their identity as the celebratory monolith descends into terminal chaos.

A buddha-like figure meditating on a high platform is fussily scrutinized by a whirring, clicking, mechanical bureaucrat.

A poet, inverting the cliche of the starved artist in the garret, and immediately begins to compose. He has nobly romantic intentions, and begins composing a love poem, which is visualized in the style of silent cinema. Unfortunately, the poet’s darker urges keep intruding.
