Synopsis

During the night two robbers creep up to a safe and manage to get it open. Inside, instead of banknotes, they find leaflets containing the text: "Don't leave your money at home, put it in the National Savings Bank!".

Note

No name appears in the introductory film titles. In the index of Film and Television Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts films, on the box containing the film copy and in Jiří Havelka´s book Czechoslovak Short Films 1945–1970, the film is presented under the title Insurance Company, even though the film´s contents suggest that it was made as an advertisement for the National Savings Bank.
