(The "black cannon" of the title describes the missing out on chess piece the hapless hero is trying to situate.) Put under investigation and reassigned to a much less delicate department but never informed of the factor for his demotion, he applications to obtain his task back, triggering an increasingly obtuse and humorous collection of Event meetings, set in a conference room right out of German Expressionism.
