The good-hearted Valentin Plavec is a frequent target of the unfunny jokes of his burnt-out colleagues. However, the masterfully edited prize list is a bit over the top. It will bring Valentino a lot of trouble and disappointment, but in the end also a chance for a well-deserved revenge, because who digs a hole for someone else.

A pun about an auctioned antler that causes an avalanche of misunderstandings and almost brings down the happy marriage of Viktorin and Zuzanka.
