Synopsis

The designer Hartwig goes on holiday to the Krkonose mountains where his father works as a postman. The latter falls ill and Karel carries out his work in his stead. The Prague builder Werner, who is also spending his holidays here, asks Karel to guide him through the mountains so that he is in time for an important meeting in Prague. The builder's daughter Vera also goes with them. She is not able to continue the arduous journey, however, and Hartwig takes her back home to her parents and the young couple grow very fond of each other. Since Harwig has earned the favour of Vera's father, their happiness is now complete.
