Megpróbáltam visszatartani, de már túl késő volt", de nem tulajdonítottak neki jelentőséget, a bíróság halálra ítélte a férfit. A halálsor: a villamosszékhez, "az Öreg Füstöshöz" vezető folyosó, itt zajlik a jószívű és gonosz fegyőrök, valamint a halálraítéltek élete, s főszereplő még egy titokzatos, megszelídített egér...
