The 45-year-old Karl August Otto is buried in the cemetery. The devil, disguised as a funeral orator, mentions that the dead man is a great success for the campaign “Through sedentary life to an early death”. The curve of cardiovascular disorders is constantly increasing. He calls on all people to avoid any physical movement and not to forget to overexcite their nerves, then they will soon find a place in a cemetery.
