Overview

The newly appointed parish priest of Giemza goes to the presbytery in the village of Ociesęki. On the way, it stops in front of Jan Kolasa's house. Invited to a richly set table, Giemza enjoys the hospitality. When he falls asleep tired, Kolasa changes into his cassock and goes to the rectory. The next day, Kolasa gives a general sermon announcing the distribution of church land to the poor, which causes a general stir.
