Bartleby, in spite of his conventional appearance, is a drop-out. While conforming to society to the extent of getting a job, he declines all forms of social contact. The film follows the tragicomic progression of Bartleby's relationship with his employer, who is eventually driven from his office by this baffling but implacable young audit clerk.
