Niky's Magnificent AdventureSynopsis
On one of his rambles through the countryside, student Niky meets Eva, an actress and member of a film company which has come to the country to make a film. However, when the director falls in the water the entire film crew, including Eva, have to return to town early. Niky gets drunk in his disappointment and goes bathing in the pond. A thief steals his trousers and he is forced to go home wearing only his shirt. On the way he spots a cassock drying in a field and dresses himself in it. Due to his clerical costume he is greeted by the local people as the new chaplain. The film company hear about the welcome and want to film the following celebration. Actress Eva grows closer to Niky and when the real chaplain arrives much later, she and Niky are forced to make a quick exit.
