Munich postal inspector Anton Sittinger lives an unexcited life in the lower middle class with his well-behaved wife Alwine. Anton reads philosophical books, is a born opportunist and adapts to the respective system as much as possible. The couple experience the turmoil of the revolution and the Hitler putsch. When his wife Alwine becomes involved with the Nazis, the conformist Anton finds himself in conflict.
