A tale of political fanatics on the run from the authorities. The identical inhabitants of a future world lead lives of mindless compliance and conformity held in check by a brutal police state. A small group of subversives meet secretly to defy the cities autocratic laws. Running up stairs marked 'down', keeping 'on' the grass, they express themselves in an orgy of disobedience, defying their oppressors through acts of gross stupidity. However their rules of disobedience at night have become as strict as their rules of obedience during the day - and the police are never far behind.
