Anna wants to buy an SLR camera. She finds one advertised in a free ads paper, and along with her friend Gibbo she goes to the house of the man wishing to sell it. Mr. Sifter turns out to be a very sweet man, someone who obviously doesn't get a lot of visitors. The camera is almost forgotten about as they talk into the early evening about life, love and happiness. Upon leaving Mr. Sifter gives them a bottle of exotic looking drink that he
picked up on his travels. They travel home with full hearts, a little more life knowledge and the thought that maybe they brought a little bit of happiness back into one lonely life. That evening Anna, Gibbo and a crowd of their friends are getting drunk. Mr Sifter's bottle is being passed around. One friend is quite suddenly sick, then another. The atmosphere changes quickly as one by one the friends collapse onto the floor, until only one is left conscious, but helpless. Then the door opens and Mr.
Sifters face looks through. At last! Salvation! But no. Mr. Sifter unravels a sack and begins stealing all of worth in the house.
