The hero of the story taking place at the end of the twenties is the modest civil servant, doctor Kopjáss who is suddenly appointed to be the chief attorney of Zsarátnok city. He realises slowly that his immaculate name was needed as a cover for the corrupt loan transactions handled by the lords of the city. His relatives appear as well, who also want to get rich by cheating, exploiting his newly acquired credit. As a new link in the network an old love turns up: Kopjáss needs to be smeared with mud so that he would be manageable. For the enclosed, disturbed man no way is out except for suicide. His attempt, however, fails. (official distributor synopsis)
