La muerte del primer ministro causa revuelo en la sociedad de un pequeño pueblo residencial. Mientras von Gillzing espera convertirse en el sucesor del difunto, Weber, su ex secretario, es transferido a un puesto insignificante como archivero. Y también la baronesa von Windegg, que tiempo atrás se consideraba la amante del primer ministro, teme perder el estatus social. Pero cuando la baronesa le da al archivero un grueso paquete que von Gillzing cree que contiene los diarios del difunto primer ministro, de repente la baronesa y el archivero tienen una gran demanda y todos en la ciudad tienen miedo de ser mencionados en el diario de manera comprometedora.
