Synopsis

Four clowns are getting board a plane at the Prague airport - a girl dressed like a bride, a man in a bridegroom dress, two friends of the young couple - a young one and an older one. During the whole flight the older friend browses a brochure about Carlsbad. According to particular photos he fancies situations on how to get rid of the bridegroom and the young friend to get the bride he likes for himself. In the fancied scenes the actors wear costumes of various historic stages. The fantasies show establishing Carlsbad by the Emperor and King Charles IV., various bath treatments, traditional magician festival, spa houses, a golf course etc. Finally the plane lands at the Carlsbad airport.
