The Christening Party

Two employees of the cartographic institute - the technical deputy director Čirůvka and his colleague Humpl - have different life styles. Čirůvka is a non-energetic, and unambitious. But Humpl, although he does not reach Čirůvka's human and expert qualities, is flattering the director who is to be retired, in order to become his successor. The young draftsman Honza Ryzec invites his girl-friend Naďa for a weekend in Žalovice as his parents will leave. Čirůvka's energetic and pragmatic secretary Karolina tells to her boss that Humpl has a new sexy secretary and she advices him to pinch his "beauty". Čirůvka agrees in the end, and he invites the girl for a trip. Ryzec wants to get a day off and he makes up that they have a big christening party in the family. Čirůvka with Humpl's secretary head to the same city. Karolina spreads in the institute with whom Čirůvka went away. The news hears also Mrs. Čirůvková, and she sets off to Žalovice after her husband. Čirůvka forces Honza to arrange in the village a pretended christening. It takes a lot of work for Honza to get a baby, a mother and to arrange all necessary things. The christening party is supposed to be visited also by the director who is in a near gamekeeper's lodge together with his guests. Despite of all endeavours everything comes out in the end. Monday morning the repentant Čirůvka reports to the new director to explain it all. Surprisingly he learns that it was him who was appointed to the office.
