Honeymoon JourneySynopsis
Helena Frýdlová is getting ready for her wedding. Her husband-to-be, the kind but earnest professor Artur Čejka, takes a walk the evening before the wedding day. On the river bank he stops a young woman from committing suicide. The woman, Káťa Holanová, is an actress unable to find work and now without a penny to her name. After the wedding ceremony Mr and Mrs Čejka go on their honeymoon by train. On the train Čejka again meets Káťa, who is travelling without a ticket and asks him to buy her one. He gets off with her briefly at Brno station but the train suddenly leaves without them. Helena cannot understand what has happened, but since she is facing an evening with relatives in Bratislava, she asks a fellow passenger, a young sportsman called Evžen Gregor, to pose as her husband for one evening. They take a room in a hotel, Gregor checking in under the name of Čejka. Artur and Káťa then arrive and the misunderstanding is cleared up. Helena and Káťa become friends. Artur now has to pretend to be Gregor, which leads to many problems. After spending the evening together, Evžen and Káťa become close. Gregor's father, director of a theatre, offers Káťa work and his son offers Káťa marriage.
