At work a low-level salaryman is publicly humiliated when a man who claims to be Mr. Maud's pet taunts him and admits he engineered Molly's marriage so he could sleep with her. The man says he forced overtime to spend nights with Molly and threatens to take away both the husband's job and wife if he resists. Molly, confronted, insists she's happy, which only deepens the husband's shock. The abuser mocks them as Mr. Maud's dogs, leaving the husband exposed and facing the real risk of losing everything.
