In a cinema auditorium, the filmmakers are looking for suitable types of people among the viewers as examples for criticizing the negative phenomena within the society. Mr František Novák, for example, is late for work and would appreciate nobody noticing that. But the "sneaking" man is betrayed by the factory radio which publicly announces his misbehaviour. An even worse sinner is Mr Václav Hájek who pretends to be an extremely busy man, but the camera captures him playing cards during working hours. But there soon will be work camps for such shirkers and lazy-bones. An exemplary employee is discovered by the camera, the worker Karel Svoboda who takes his work at the drilling machine seriously and seeks to improve it.
The first from the series of propaganda films.
