1958: the jew herbie stemple became a star thanks to his participation in 'tweny-one', a quiz produced by the nbc television network and followed by over fifty million viewers throughout the usa. one day the transmission executives ask him to leave the scene, voluntarily answering a mistake because listening is falling and the program needs a new sample. in exchange stemple will soon be running a talk show. stemple accepts the proposal and loses, leaving the title to charles vandoren, the young scion of a very rich family. meanwhile in washington, a congressional inspector, suspicious of some oddities, decides to investigate the quiz.
