A young man is tied to the pole and is being tortured by Malanga and Olivo. Cigarettes, substances to sniff, paper cups with drinks, belts, masks and other sadomasochist props are visible, as well as drugs in pill form. A cop enters the scene and orders Malanga to sit so that he can be re-educated by the doctor who directs the torture of the boy, whose torture by Potin increases when a vinyl mask is placed on him. The doctor finally frees the boy, embraces and dances with him, while also humiliating him. The boy enjoys the game and the participants all dance while the doctor gives out drugs to sniff.
