Minister Otto Sauer has just resigned. As usual, he walks over to the Eden Bar to muse about the rise and the fall of the mighty. This time, however, the evening takes a different course. He himself gives an account of the symbiosis of power and corruption while still defending it. In his opinion he has been made the scapegoat of the party. The overthrown minister is a fictional figure, yet so easy to recognize.
