Morgan Leafy, fonctionnaire en titre, se voit chargé d'une délicate mission funéraire. Son ambition croît alors démesurément, au point qu'il tente de séduire la fille de son supérieur hiérarchique. Mais la situation va échapper à son entendement. Tiraillé entre l'hypocrisie coloniale de son administration et les traditions parfois surprenantes des populations locales, le modeste fonctionnaire bascule dans l'horreur et l'absurde.
