Sinopsis(1)

Joseph II, the enlightened Austro-Hungarian emperor, entrusts his loyal and confidential subject, Ráby Mátyás, formerly a treasurer, to examine the abuses made by the magistrates of Szentendre and Izbég. Following his old friend, Dacsó Marci's directions, Ráby reveals horrible robberies, tax evasions, frauds, and other illegal acts having been committed against the people. The local landlords want to bribe him, and when they are refused, they kill Dacsó and threaten Ráby's life. First, they try to poison him, then they make the chairman of the local government put him into prison. As a result of an order given by Joseph II, he is released from prison, but after the Emperor's death he is forced to flee to France with an autobiography describing the Hungarian conditions of the time and his personal history and sufferings.
