Rak's life takes an unexpected turn after he is dismissed by his company.  He discovers that the word 'travail' stems from the Latin word 'tripalium', an instrument of torture.  He thereupon decides to create his own work.  Having raised some capital by a hold-up, Rak sets himself up as a managing director and sets about hiring staff to sell fictitious musical encyclopaedias.
