It's Loriot's birthday. Reason enough to show him as he really is. Evelyn Hamann interviews him in the TV studio where he always records his show. A lot of guests are invited, mostly people who played in Loriot's show, and a big surprise is announced for the end. - This fake celebration shows Loriot as a bitter old man, his guests as humorless bourgeois and Evelyn Hamann as an overtaxed presenter who can't save the show.
