Synopsis

Kutil, a mason, has three daughters and they are a source of much worry for him. The oldest, Bětka, is a single mother. Her lover doesn't disown his child but he is not keen on Bětka's marrying him. The middle daughter, Lidla, causes new worries. She is a model and has met a painter called Lojza who introduced himself as Master Reban. In order to keep his affections she pretends she is from an upper class family. Viky, whom old Kutil calls Cácorka, is studying painting at the academy and she secretly loves Reban. She does not understand why he is wasting his time with Lidla and she cannot come to terms with what Lidla told him about the family. She decides to put everything right. She takes her family to Reban's studio and introduces the members to him one by one. But she discovers that Lidla's lover is in fact Reban's cousin, the interior decorator Lojza Reban. Cácorka bursts into tears in shame at having made her family look foolish. But Master Reban avows his love for her and they get engaged.
