The retired cabaret artist is strolling in the Old Town in Prague and searching for a present for his cleaning lady Melicharová, who has birthday. Eventually, he finds an old TV in the junkyard and he drags it home in the rain. Melicharová looks gratefully at the TV set, although she cannot see anything on the screen. Jonáš gets sick from the chill and in feverish dreams his wishes come true. He is running on the meadow with the beautiful film star, Olivia. The omnipresent Melicharová is shepherding a cow near by. Jonáš writes a poem which is received vividly in the agency. He gets a role of a street sweeper and he is supposed to sweep poops after a goat which is walked by Melicharová. The goat becomes a cow, then an elephant and eventually Jonáš faints. He wakes up, but shortly after he falls asleep again. This time he is singing a duet with Olivia. She cannot sing, so Melicharová is singing instead of her. After some further songs, Jonáš and Melicharová are hitchhiking, but the only vehicle which stops is a double-bike on which they bike all the way to London. The cabaret man wins earrings in the lottery and he gives them to Olivia. After he wakes up, he gets another dream. He is singing with Melicharová in the yard. Melicharová has a singing and dancing number in the bar in Honolulu. In the narrow aisles of the working quarter Jonáš stabs a girl while singing. A bad smell wakes him up. Melicharová burnt the teapot. In the following dream, Jonáš gives to Melicharová the promised earrings (even with ears). Olivia is waving them and they are both walking in the beautiful summer afternoon on the race course, Melicharová in the flower hat, Jonáš dressed in a festive suite.
