Plot: Oldrich Lukásek (Milos Kopecký), a respected Prague solicitor, lets him shifted for health reasons to the small town at the foot-hills. In the local advocate advice bureau impatiently awaits him his secretary Zuzana (Zlata Adamovská) and work at the penal and offense cases, sometimes odd and humorous, sometimes tragic. Experienced Lukásek soon starts orientating not only in judicial cases but also at the situation of the small town, in which, as elsewhere, exist dishonesty, flyness and pressure of the powerful by influence or money.
