The king has sent his inspector to Hameln to investigate the disappearance of all the children in this Lower Saxon town. The royal inspector questions the innkeeper and the latter recounts the invasion of the rats, the arrival of the foreigner, the deal made with the town and how the inhabitants welcomed him and rewarded him handsomely. The two of them discuss and the images scroll by, showing a very different reality: the greed and contempt of an entire town for this flute player who finally punished them. This kamishibai can be read by two people: the king's inspector and the innkeeper. The text is composed in the form of a dialogue.
