All seems lost.
And then, in an old, lonely and icy park, two shadowy figures meet: those of Deus and a Messenger.
God's Messenger gives the hoodlum (the temporary state of the poor Joao de Deus) a case stuffed with money. He then leaves, his mission accomplished.
Joao counts the bank notes. The silent waters of a nearby lake are disturbed when a heavy object plunges in. Joao goes to see what is happening. A young girl (Joana) is drowning. Joao throws himself into the water and carries the unconscious Joana off to a convent (Capucines?). How responsible!
Joao de Deus returns to the park to recover the case and its precious contents: happily, nothing has been touched... And thus continue the adventures of Joao de Deus.
