Meanwhile, a runaway aristocrat, Walter Howard, gets a mechanical doll that is indistinguishable from a human. It immediately draws the attention of one of the gendarmes. But the gendarme is also overwhelmed by his own problems related to preserving important secrets.
Until all these secrets are uncovered, the city of Ligepylatz is unlikely to return to its former calm.
