Rumcais (pronounce Rumtsais) made his living as an upright, right-minded shoe-maker in the town of Jičín. After a great quarrel with the powerful gentlefolk, he was banished from the town. And so he became a robber. He settled in the nearby forest, where he now lives with his wife Manka and little son Cipísek (pronounce Tsipisek). And there are a lot of adventures and also worries ahead of him. The Jičín lords want to oust him and his family from the forest. But Rumcais has a brave heart, and when the worst comes to the worst, Manka and Cipísek come to his aid.
