What happens

The Sinful People of Prague (Czech: Hříšní lidé města pražského) is a Czechoslovak television series which was first broadcast in 1968. The series was written and directed by Jiří Sequens. The thirteen-part series is an adaptation of Jiří Marek's short stories from the collections Panoptikum starých kriminálních příběhů (Panopticon of Old Criminal Stories) and Panoptikum hříšných lidí (Panopticon of Sinful People). The story takes place around 1928. The series was loosely followed by four feature films and one television film (all from 1971 to 1972) and the television series Panoptikum města pražského (1988).
