The Chintamani And Birds - A passionate carpet collector, Doctor Vitásek, discovers a unique piece in the second hand shop of Mrs Severýnová - a Persian carpet with a pattern of birds. A connoisseur himself, he is aware that there are only three of these carpets and all of them are in the hands of various monarchs. Severýnová has no idea what a precious item she holds. The carpet, however, is not for sale - it was deposited in the shop by the wealthy widow Zanelliová, who travels all around the world and visits Prague only rarely. Vitásek opens his heart to his friend, lawyer Bimbal, and tries to gain the precious piece with his help. The widow refuses to sell them the carpet, and the desperate Vitásek thus attempts to steal it. But the thief they engage for the work - Bimbal's client - gets drunk and is caught through all the noise he makes. The relentless Vitásek learns to file through the bars himself. Tales of a Trickster - The police are on the alert because fraudulent offers of marriage are on the rise. The culprit's identifying features are that he plays the violin and has golden teeth. The inspector of the railway service eventually captures a swindler named Vincent Plichta. This serious criminal does not resist arrest - he only gives an account of his expenses and goes to serve his term. After some time, again fraudulent offers of marriage are reported. Holub would prefer to play it safe, but circumstances force him to take Plichta to his family's summerhouse over the weekend and introduce him as a friend. On the return to the city, the old swindler is shocked - he himself almost falls victim to a woman-swindler in the railway restaurant. (Verleiher-Text)
