Director: Alexander Kluge • Scenario: Alexander Kluge • Kameraman: Thomas Mauch • Actors: Heinz Schubert, Gert Günther Hoffmann, Erich Kleiber, Verena Rudolph, Heinz Schimmelpfennig

The clownish security chief of a West German business is obsessed with protecting his factory from fancied and real breaches, especially from groups such as The Red Army Faction. Ferdinand's paranoia and methods can't be contained by his company. The sympathetically-drawn Ferdinand's ludicrous actions recall those of the cynical, disastrous axis between fascism and big business in 1930's Europe: satire of the rise of private security.
