When Ferdinand, the regular cake supplier of Lommerrust cemetery, dies, his son Karel has to take over the bakery. It is a great responsibility, especially now that the annual oliebollen test is approaching. Ferdinand has little confidence that Karel will be able to uphold the bakery's honor. He asks Hein to help him. There is also a crisis of confidence going on at Lommerrust. Johannes is going crazy because of his son's interference, while Menno is going crazy because of his father's stubborn attitude.

It is busy at the cemetery. Journalists and fans are crowding in front of the fences to catch a glimpse of the funeral of soul legend Joyce Russel. But the only person Joyce really wants at her funeral is not there. In the meantime, Hein himself has a disagreement with his friend Jordi. He does not believe that Hein can really see ghosts.

When the body of a homeless woman is found, the mayor asks Menno to arrange a funeral. It is a sad affair. Lenie was all alone without friends or company. At least that is how it seems, because she asks Hein to arrange a new home for her many cats. Jordi and Dewi help, but there is one cat, Siep, who is not welcome anywhere. Hein feels sorry for the animal. He knows what it's like when no one cares about you. His father Menno seems more concerned with his career than with Hein's fate.
