Rikas pleiboilik tüüp ootab oma kosmosejahiga sadamas stardiluba, kui talle järsku teatatakse, et jahi pardale tuleb tolliametnik. See asi ei meeldi tüübile kohe üldse, sest tagumises kajutis on tal üks kast, mida tegelikult ei tohiks üldse olemas ollagi.

Õnneks on tolliametnik jahiomaniku noorpõlvesõber ning mingit läbiotsimist ei toimugi. Paari joogi kõrvale räägib tolliametnik, miks teda jalule aeti -- nimelt likvideeriti Maal just viimane kunstnaiste vabrik, aga selle toodangust on üks kadunud...

Sheckley parima harjumuse kohaselt on lõpp kiiksuga, kuid seekord pisut aimatav. "Neli". Pool palli tuleb kahemõttelise pealkirja eest.

P. S. Meenus, et samal teemal on ka Friedebert Tuglas novelli kirjutanud, ja juba 1915. aastal ;)
