Attempts to restore justice almost end up in prison for himself. Gastev decides to limit his activities to teaching Roman law at the university of a small regional town. In Sergei's personal life, too, everything is not easy: the affair with the city Komsomol leader Lyudmila Mishina has to be carefully hidden...
