The farce concerns the ultimate fate of the gem called the Penultimate Night, and the identity of the mysterious man who absconded with a certain detective's long-lost body. For what purpose does M pursue the Penultimate Night?
But within a month, 
half of them had gone mad.
لكن في غضون شهر، فقد نصفهم صوابهم
Aber innerhalb eines Monats war
die Hälfte von ihnen verrückt geworden.
Pero, al cabo de un mes,
la mitad perdía la cordura.
Pero, al cabo de un mes,
la mitad perdía la cordura.
Cependant, la moitié d’entre eux
a sombré dans la folie en moins d’un mois.

Todavia, em um mês,
metade deles enlouqueceu.
Вот только не прошло и полумесяца,
как половина юношей спятила.
