The young executive of a publicity agency Henry Creedlow is a man that has repressed morbid thoughts and is walked over by most of his acquaintances: his wife is cheating on him with his boss and stealing his investments with help from his best friend; his housemaid is frequently stealing from his house and insulting him in Spanish; even his annoying poodle does not respect him. While in his daily morning routine listening to a talk show on the radio, he hears a man committing suicide live because he had been felt miserable and disrespected for a long time, and Henry feels impressed with the tragic story. The next morning, he wakes up to find his face covered by a white mask, changing his personality and letting him seek revenge against those who have humiliated him. 　　译文(2): 宣传机构亨利 · 克里德洛(Henry Creedlow)的年轻主管压抑着病态的想法，他的大多数熟人都对他敬而远之: 他的妻子背着他和老板偷情，在他最好的朋友的帮助下偷走了他的投资; 他的女仆经常从他家偷东西，用西班牙语侮辱他; 甚至他那只讨厌的狮子狗也不尊重他。在他每天早晨例行的收听广播谈话节目时，他听到一个男人在现场自杀，因为他长期以来一直感到痛苦和不尊重，亨利对这个悲惨的故事印象深刻。第二天早上，他醒来时发现自己的脸被一张白色的面具遮住了，他改变了自己的性格，让自己向那些羞辱过他的人寻求报复。
