Synopsis

An English speaking tourist at the reception in the Savoy hotel asks for swallows. The receptionist and the hotel manager do not know how they can oblige her: they would certainly get into trouble with animal conservationists. Perhaps what the woman really wants is swallow's nests. The little liftboy points to a display window with Baťa's collection of springtime footwear - called "Swallows". The lady is satisfied. The closing picture is of Baťa's spring collection.
