The setting is Tanga, a small miserable island with an illiteracy rate of 99%. The country is headed by Herr Walkyria Von Mariemblau (Rubens Corrêa).

After he reads each day's newspaper, he incinerates it to prevent it from falling into the hands of communist guerrillas, who covert the newspaper, sharing his belief that "knowledge is power."
