He is notified that he is to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature. He arrives in Stockholm for the ceremony. All eyes and cameras are focused on Goethe. During the banquet, the elderly American medical laureate collapses and a few hours later, he dies. Only Goethe knows that he has been poisoned, and he believes he knows by whom.
