In the dispute about the changing of a light bulb,it comes to a serious accident:Both men receive a powerful electrical shock, as a result of which the master butcher dies. His spirit, however, remains on earth. Quite imperceptibly the traditional Bavarian supporter of apartheid develops a kind of friendship with Alpha.
