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 João de Deus) a case stuffed with money He then leaves, his mission accomplished.
João counts the bank notes. The silent waters of a nearby lake are disturbed when a heavy object plunges in. João goes to see what is happening. A young girl (Joana) is
drowning. João throws himself into the water and carries the unconscious Joana off to a convent (Capucines?).
How responsible!
João 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 João de Deus.
