When New York was about to go bankrupt, all construction had stopped and an architect tried to become a wrecker. This is the story of the demolition of a large factory building on 23rd Street and 6th Avenue. Meanwhile daily business—grimy or funny, money or no money—goes on as usual. Music by Thelonius Monk and Edgar Varèse.
