Bohemia at the beginning of the 15th century: The people of a small village have survived the terrible plague. Weak, hungry and desperate, they abandon the caves in which they found refuge from the pest. They are pinched by poverty for the fields lay unsown - and the winter is coming.Even their noble lord on the nearby castle is suffering. Fortunately, he still has the treasure, which he stole together with other robber knights before the plague struck. When he wants to use it to battle the hardship, he realises to his horror that the chests filled with gold and jewels are gone. He could lose his life over this!In the meantime, precious items are showing up in and around the village time and again, and the villagers claim a troll is the source of their small wealth.

Who is this mysterious benefactor in the forest?Can the two men unveil the truth and ward off the consequences of greed and superstition that has been growing in Janovice since the beginning of the outbreak of the pest?
