Overnight both of them become jobless, because Panigl decided to sell his Café which was not successful anymore. Right in this moment, Franz’ brother is sending 20.000 Dollar from USA. Money, he once peculated and now wants to pay back.. Gustav and Franz are buying half of the Café for each from the unexpected money.
