The identity of fraudster Moist von Lipving is known throughout the country — he pulls off such things that no one could ever commit. Moreover, in recent days, the damage from his "painstaking work" has amounted to not much, not a little, but almost 150,000 dollars. Of course, when he was caught, the only punishment he deserved was hanging. If you watch the movie "Homage" online, you will witness how favorable fate is to Lipwing. He had already managed to escape death once, and this time he had a chance to escape execution. The Patrician Vetinari offered him a deal, a favor in exchange for his release.
The fact is that the Ankh-Morpork post office does not work at all, the decline was noticed a year ago, but the management hoped that the problem would resolve itself. Alas, now a person with non-standard principles of life, such as Lipwing, can put everything back in its place. Having no other choice, he gladly agrees to become the manager. It was only after taking up his duties that it became clear that the post office had not just been closed for a year, but had not sent letters for almost 20 years. And four of Lipving's predecessors died under strange circumstances. Now the fraudster will not only have to deliver all the stale messages, but also find out the secret of the death of all the previous managers.
