The narrative begins at the end of the story with the Everyman, Tony, bankrupt and damaged. He then leaves his house in the dark and walks to another house where a woman (Femme Fatale) opens the door; Tony then shoots her (a voice over is used to briefly explain how he got in the situation that he is in and what he is doing).
A flashback then shows Tony's life before he met the Femme Fatale at work, she finds out that he has a deep, dark secret and uses this to blackmail him- Tony is also seduced by the lady but he hates that he likes her. Eventually, the Femme Fatale hustles Tony out of a large sum of money therefore he is left with nothing other than his secret. During a lunch break at work, the Femme Fatale breaks into Tony's house and steals a box which holds his secret in, when Tony returns home he realises and goes to kill her to get back everything that is his (the story then cuts back to the end).
The upset Tony is distraught that he has lost 'his' woman and that he will inevitably end up in prison, he opens the box for one last look at what he has hidden from everyone and shoots himself in the head. The camera pans from the dead Everyman towards the box and there is a fade to black after revealing his secret.
