The young Věra accepts an offer from her friend Kajetán who has arranged for her to work in Dominik's puppet factory. She enchants her employer so much that he falls in love with her. Dominik's mother takes note of her son's interest in the girl and immediately has her fired. Kajetán, who works in the studio of Výr the sculptor where mechanical puppets are made for commercial promotion, asks Věra for help. He wants her to pretend to be a puppet since his was damaged just before it was to go on show. Věra agrees to take up the challenge. Věra's acting skills are so convincing that Mrs Dominik shows great interest in the mechanical puppet and she urges Kajetán to organise a promotional tour of the Republic. Věra thus has to continue her "role" and finds herself in various awkward situations during the course of the tour. A misunderstanding leads to the arrest of Kajetán and the innocent Dominik in Karlovy Vary, while Věra manages to escape. In the end, however, everything is explained, the invention is finally ready and robot no.2 - the real one this time - wishes Věra and Dominik, who are now engaged, best wishes for the future.
