A construction engineer has recurring dreams of being buried alive, so he visits a psychiatrist. Dr. Froyd interprets these dreams as subconscious indications of being 'buried under work'. The engineer resolves to inspect the concrete moldings of the latest project before taking his summer vacation. He doses off briefly, but when he comes to, finds they have begun pouring the concrete, and, believing this to be yet another dream, begins to laugh and makes no attempt to escape.
