Two famous thieves give up their trade and try honest work — one to water a champaka plant that drinks a hundred buckets and is never wet, the other to tend the most vicious cow in the country. Honest labour drives them back to their old skills, a jar of gold mohurs under the plant, a stolen shoe on the highway, and a funeral that neither of them will forget. The fathers' adventures, complete in themselves.
