Nurse Alena’s Love Affair

Young car racer Karel has just undergone a kidney operation. Recovering, he falls in love with a pretty nurse Alena whom he tries to attract when coming for medical check-ups to the hospital. At first Alena refuses, but eventually she accepts his invitation for dinner, followed by a dance. Alena soon falls in love with the energetic boy, who cannot live without the excitement of car racing. After his recovery, Karel wants to get back to the race-course at all costs. He starts preparing for a national rallye and Alena accompanies him. Doctor Srdínko, Karel's attending doctor, emphatically warns Alena, that Karel should refrain from racing forever. Karel is unwilling to admit this fact, though. Firstly, the race looks good for Karel and his navigator Jiří. During the race in rough terrain, Karel has a kidney attack. Alena calls up doctor Srdínko who gives Karel an injection, but advises him to withdraw from the race. Jiří is also afraid of taking further risk with Karel. Finally, they both decide to take part in the rallye the following day. However, Karel is unable to drive. Jiří takes over the driving from him, but he cannot find the correct direction; he is leaving the car in anger. Karel finishes the race on his own, having taken wrong way and long after the set time limit. He is very unhappy because his longed-for world broke to pieces. Loving Alena helps him to overcome the crisis and Karel returns to hospital to undergo another operation.
