A traveling researcher visits a remote penal colony where he witnesses an elaborate execution machine designed by the former commandant. The apparatus tortures condemned prisoners for hours by inscribing their violated commandment into their flesh.

The demonstration takes an unexpected turn that leads to the researcher's hasty departure from the island.
