Mána est une jeune secrétaire. Un soir, elle et sa colocataire accompagnent deux riches hommes plus âgés à dîner. Après que l'un d'eux lui ait proposé de l'argent, elle réalise ses intentions et s'enfuit du restaurant sous le choc. Elle rencontre plus tard un homme nommé Karel dans un café voisin.

When Vilem appears in the road with an unconscious young woman, it disturbs the peaceful life of three generations of the Balvínova family.

Alois Novák (Oldrich Nový), a minor clerk in a travel agency and the husband of a dowdy housewife Marenka (Natasa Gollová), lives a run-of-the-mill, dull life. In his soul, however, there resides an inextinguishable desire for adventure. And so once a month he poses as a playboy. As the mysterious and wealthy Mr. Kristian he goes to the exclusive Orient Bar where he does not skimp on generous tips and where he platonic-ally seduces beautiful and elegant women. In the salon he speaks of love and the magnificence of exotic lands, which he has supposedly come to know on his wanderings abroad. In reality he has read all of this in the travel agency's brochures.
