    The film has a theatrical troupe made up of husband (Gunnar Björnstrand), wife (Ingrid Thulin), and wife's lover (Anders Ek) called up before a magistrate (played by the appropriately named Erik Hell) on charges of obscenity. Their examination becomes a sadistic inquisition in which they are cruelly bullied and humiliated, and culminates in a chilling re-creation of "The Rite", the allegedly pornographic play that has gotten them into trouble.
