A collection of seven plays - the seven deadly sins: Gluttony, Lechery or the Bet, the Loafer, the Cheat, Avarice, Envy, and Pride and Ambition or The Sun King. The common thread is that all the deadly sins still destroy the efficacy of sound social and moral attitudes.

Jadin, the French Managing Director of a West African trading company in the 1940s, is so addicted to the old order of slave traders, that hereduces his employees to mental and emotional subjugation, destroying their sense of self-worth and dehumanising them. Laurent arrives to challenge Jadin's ruthlessness, but the face-off doesn't last for long. When Laurent replaces Jadin, he turns out to be an even worse example of one of the last slave traders.
