A Risk-Formula Driver

Jirka Hudeček wins a car race and receives congratulations from his friends. Here the dream ends, and the young man realizes that he is facing a court trial together with other members of his gang of thieves. Jirka is the only one to be put on probation; the others - including Rosmery, Jirka's secret love - go to jail. Jirka's parents have never taken much care of him. His father slaps him in the face on leaving the court hall, but Jirka immediately hits back. The young man starts to work in a quarry, keeping to dream about a car racing career. He irritates his co-workers by his rebellious views, cynicism, and even by his long hair. Only the charge man Beran takes care of him, though he soon finds out that Jirka could easily commit another theft. Being influenced by Mr Beran, Jirka starts to change his negative attitude. The members of the gang return from prison. Rosmery makes use of Jirka's affection as well as his mania for cars, and talks him into another crime - a car theft. Car mechanic Janeček then disassembles the stolen cars, selling the components. The last one to come back from prison is the gang leader and Rosmery's partner Jacek. He forces Jirka to participate in the robbery in a museum, threatening him to reveal his assistance at other thefts. A night action ends up by arresting the whole gang. Upon hearing the verdict of imprisonment, Jirka is slapped in his face again. This time he does not hit back, because the one to slap him is Mr Beran - a man who gained his respect. At last, he starts crying. He realizes that his life has been irretrievably spoilt.
