Together with his sons, Floyd Jr., 49, and Bruce, 38, Floyd Gottwald is trying to convince the Government and the automakers that his company's new "lead trap," a disposable filter attached to an auto muffler, will stop lead from being emitted into the air. Trouble is, Ethyl's device does not trap all the lead. Besides, automakers claim that lead must be kept out of the gasoline itself because it clogs catalytic mufflers.

When Cook is shot by his wife, he falls where his apartment's worn carpet catches streetlight. A parakeet screeches over the punk's fallen body, and the scene and the sound...
...family tried to flee the country three times. On the first try, the leader of the fleeing group of families turned out to be a police agent, who led the group into a trap. Several people were shot, and Tatrallyay's family was captured by the Hungarian secret police...
