After getting beat up by his dad, the 18-year-old Asen runs off from his home. The reason for the beating was that Asen tried on father's old wedding suit. The boy did not know that in the suit there was hidden money. Asen goes to live at the place of the General. The father wants a meeting with his son. His partners observe the meeting. When they hear that Asen tries to convince his dad to turn himself in, they stab him with a knife. They kill the father afterwards. The General wants the father to be buried with his wedding suit, unaware that the money, which is the reason for the misfortune, will be buried with it.
