Sus investigaciones le llevan a pensar que alli donde falta la razon tiene que estar la locura; su empeño por analizar a todo aquel que no razone segun un criterio cientifico acaba siendo internado para su estudio psicologico, provocando que gran parte de la poblacion acabe internada, lo que incitara la indignacion del pueblo, que liderados por un barbero amenaza con provocar una revolucion. A partir de este punto el cuento entra en una sucesion de idas y venidas entre el poder, la locura y la razon en un universo tan machadiano que el lector no podra dejar de asombrarse de la capacidad ironica y el humor del autor para retratar al ser humano.
