Banev finds himself in the middle of strange events linked to slimies or four-eyes - strange leper people suffering from disfiguring "yellow leprosy" manifesting itself as yellow circles around the eyes. These slimies
live in a former leper colony. The town's adult population is terrified
by their existence, considering them to be the cause of all the bad and
odd things in the town. Nevertheless, the town's teenagers simply adore
slimies, that including Banev's daughter Irma. A boy named
Bol-Kunats, Irma's friend, invites the writer to a meeting with the town
school's students. Banev is deeply shocked by teenagers' high
intelligence and disullusioned point of view. They appear as superhuman
geniuses despising the dirty and corrupt human world and having no pity
for the adults.
