A workaholic sailor refuses to take any time for treatment of his improbably frequent, often rather serious injuries. One of his lies to cover up the embarrassing, spicy truth leads eager constable Ken to assume wrongly the village has its first robber. The misleading 'description' causes Ken to tackle innocently jogging Gijs, who promptly decks his aggressor, yet the townsfolk lavishly celebrate 'hero' Ken while Gijs keeps quiet. A devout man visits all the way from Groningen to demand his mother be diagnosed with dementia and sent to a rest-home, her worst fear. Martinus initially diagnoses her sound of mind, although notably mean, even clever, yet has to reconsider after she nearly drowns herself, only to find what nobody expected.
