Перед самым Hовым годом подполковник Петренко получает приказ из Управления: первого января в 12 часов дня один из его подчиненных должен явиться на детский утренник, чтобы рассказать «про будни милицейской службы». В качестве «компенсации» обещают торт огромного размера от спонсора.
Just before the New Year, Lieutenant Colonel Petrenko receives an order from the Directorate: on January 1, at 12 noon, one of his subordinates must appear at a children's matinee to tell "about the everyday life of the police service." As a "compensation" they promise a huge cake from a sponsor. Of course, Nastya, Dukalis and Larin have something to tell about their everyday life, but Nastya and Kondakov have gathered outside the city, relatives come to Larin, and Dukalis has plans ... to work in the police, not pedagogical. As proof, he tells his story to colleagues. It turned out that the Companion would never have gone to work in the police, if not for the case. He was robbed on the street. The police refused to accept the application - the case seemed too small. But the operative Drozdov advised the guy to investigate himself, because there is nothing difficult in this - just spit.
