In this eccentric comedy, murder invites Inspector Voss to a secluded Swiss sanitorium where he stumbles onto three delusional physicists, one of whom thinks he's Albert Einstein, another who thinks he's Sir Isaac Newton, and Mobius who receives proclamations from King Solomon of Bible fame. Under the watchful eye of the owner of the insane asylum, the hunchbacked spinster Doktor Mathilde von Zahnd, the three madmen knock heads with murcer, obsession and knowing too much. But Doktor von Zahnd has everything under control!
