The heavenly student Angelo Žáček doesn't really get the theory. Would he rather prove his abilities in practice? Reforming the sinner Vinck, whom all of heaven has given up on, is child's play for him, and the guardian angel diploma will be in the bag.

The angry teacher sets off after his wayward student to prevent him from committing his unangelic deed. And he might have succeeded, had he arrived a moment earlier. Now the sinner is even closer to hell, and the student will never become a guardian angel. The shaken student, under the Master's supervision, once again sets out to reform the incorrigible Vinck, but this time, if necessary, he will risk his own skin...
