It's the year 1590 and Kutna Hora is in its heyday as an important and wealthy town. The town is famous for its silver mines and coins are minted here. This, naturally, attracts profiteers and scammers in equal measure. Unfortunately, many of the scams are successful and result in austerity measures, at the miners' expense. When one of them, Jakub, objects in public, he is arrested and sentenced to death. Knight Mikulas Dacicky is an educated man and poet, but this is no way interferes with his neverending lust towards beautiful women. And in Kutna Hora, there are enough of them. The alchemist Wolfram scams councilors under the pretext of making silver. The citizen Nicolas urges his fellow city dwellers to expel the thieves and, likewise, immigrants.
