Having placed an advertisement to hire a librarian, the Duke of Milverton is rather taken aback when a certain Mrs. Gerda König arrives at the castle.

Until the day he opens the door to her quarters and discovers a delicate youthful face framed by a cascade of blonde hair... and realizes he has been deceived by a manipulator barely out of childhood! For "Mrs. König," the time for explanations has come...
