A man runs out of coal during a snow storm and decides to visit his coal-dealer to beg for some.
During a heavy snow storm a man faces his empty coal-bucket. In spite the howling wind he decides to leave his home to find fuel. The heavy wind catches his empty bucket and carries the man to his coal-dealer's house, where the coal-dealer tries to relax using autogenic training exercises from the radio, while his wife's attempts to sleep are interrupted by her own coughs.
