Le bon chevalier Lancelot arrive dans une ville pour la délivrer du dragon qui l'opprime depuis 400 ans. Cependant, presque tout le monde en commençant par le burgrave s'attellent à l'en dissuader, car ils ignorent ce que c'est qu'une liberté et au fond la redoutent. Il fait connaissance du dragon. Lors de leur rencontre Lancelot peut mesurer par lui-même le degré d'acceptation de son sort par un commun et mortel qui à l'instar de Friedrichsen, un scientiste corrigé, ne se révolte pas à l'idée de sa propre castration.
