The day the restaurant owner is about to fire him because of his bad service, he learns that Antosha will inherit a very large sum of money, 100 thousand rubles. So he decides to scam Antosha and make her sign a contract, according to which, if Antosha leaves the service, he will have to pay 30 thousand rubles to the owner. Drunk, Antosha signs the contract.
