There’s a tournament in which knights are fighting for the three daughters of King Pravoslav. As Vanda’s and Barbora’s suitors are beating their opponents, Marie escapes into the garden to meet her secret love, the son of the King of the Underworld. Her father wants to pass the crown to the daughter who loves him most. Vanda and Barbora speak of gold and jewelry; Marie talks of her love of salt. Offended, he has Marie taken from the palace and humiliates the Salt Prince. The King of the Underworld curses the kingdom and turns all the salt into gold.
Emperor Rudolf II is more interested in art, beautiful women, and alchemy than in ruling. Most of all, he wants to get the elixir of youth and find the legendary Golem. As he focuses on his hobbies, the supreme courtiers, led by chamberlain Lang, join Rudolph's brother Matyas, who seeks the throne. Due to a mistaken identity, the baker Matěj Kotrba becomes the ruler; he looks very similar to the emperor, just twenty-five years younger. He will deal with the prominent courtiers, issue useful orders, and use the Golem to benefit everyone.
