Mr. Ctibor once worked as a hotel valet, and although he is retired, he is still eager to prove that he is needed.

However, the mix-up of room numbers is fatal not only for old Ctibor, but also for the guest in room 32. Ctibor's efforts prove futile, because he mixed up the room numbers and protected someone who didn't need it at all...
