A meeting between the famous post-war safecracker Arnošt Šimerda and "his" inspector František Nový, who put him behind bars 25 years ago. In the meantime, Mr. Šimerda has become a responsible guard at the Karlovy Vary porcelain factory, where, paradoxically, he watches over employees to make sure they don't take valuable products home in their bags. He also started a family and became a grandfather. There is no animosity between the two aging men; on the contrary, it seems as if they are long-time friends reuniting after a long separation. After all, for Mr. Šimerda, his misfortune during the robbery of the Loket cash register was ultimately the first step toward a happy and contented life.
