Pranks and horseplay are what royal scribe Janek and princess Amálka amuse themselves with most of the time. Preparations for a grand party are in full swing at the castle, and everything appears to be bathing in sunshine. Until a dark cloud emerges, in the form of three rich visitors with lord Dietrich at their head. The strange theft of their coffer full of gold and precious stones, of which Janek is accused, sets events into motion. In order to save his life, Janek has to slip away. Amálka, whom Dietrich claims for wife as a compensation for the stolen gold, soon follows him. Together they have to find the true perpetrator of the robbery the roots of which reach deep into the past, uncover the mystery of the secret sign on Dietrich's arm, and put right an injustice of long ago. In the process they find that they're coming ever closer to each other, and love is not long in coming. But their persecutors are hot on their heels, and getting rid of them is not going to be easy.
