Mrs Bromová writes to her brother to tell him that Váša's convenient betrothal is threatened. Váša gives Hanička some money to help her out and goes off to his uncle's with the letter. The landlady's diamond brooch then goes missing and Hanička is suspected of the crime. The police find the money given to her by Váša, Hanička is then arrested and imprisoned. The brooch is subsequently found, it had got caught up in Váša's carf The landlady, however, still intends to move Hanička and her mother out.
