The ministerial delegate announces a last-minute visit from the minister, first to Samson and Gert, then to town-hall. Hearing the mayor's housekeeper-cook Marie will be unavailable, town clerk Van Leemhuyzen, who must play a soccer match, asks Gert to cook for the high guest. Neither tells the mayor, who thinks it's a dirty trick just now the town needs subsidies for a public swimming pool and sabotages each course of Gert's dinner. But the ministerial program is changed last-second.
