Small Town Poet (1940)
Paul Schleemueller is the town clerk of Schonbach, but secretly, he is counting on becoming the municipality's mayor one day. However, Paul's real passion is poetry, which he has never admitted to anyone, because he thinks it is unworthy of a municipal dignitary to write poems.
