The distant future. Puppeteers from the World of Timelessness arrange a multi-round duel with a representative of another galactic civilization for earthling Jan Wlodarek. The winning civilization will have the right to own the Galaxy. Jan Wlodarek is going through a difficult test, finding himself between a rock and a hard place. Figuratively speaking, having dodged the embrace of Satan, he falls into the hands of the Antichrist. The poor guy finds himself in the well-known “catch twenty-two” situation. Still, he manages to win a unique chrono match. It would seem that the guy can only rejoice: if successful, he was promised the return of the ancient symbol of faith, lost during the years of endless galactic wars - the Christian cross. But the goal did not justify the means; violent methods of achieving it led to an unexpected tragic ending.
