Dramatic events lead to the treacherous opening of the city gates and an attempt to retrieve Longinus' spear, which was temporarily taken into the possession of Emperor Charles IV. The undertaker Václav is given the task of tracking down the traitor. Little does he know that a beggar is about to enter the final fight.
