To increase circulation, Willi Busch, reporter and heir to the local paper, takes action: sometimes he demolishes telephone boxes, sometimes he fantasizes a child into a prophetess who talks to sheep. Only when he fakes a dead man's past as an informer does Willi's paper corpses suddenly become real...
