Synopsis

It is night. A knight in armour is pacing through an old castle. The floorboards creak beneath his tread. Then the spectral knight enters a room where his footsteps are not heard. A little smiling girl says the floor is covered with Zlinolit which deadens the noise. This floor covering is also suitable for rooms where children play, she says, because it stops them getting cold.
