The family of Prague burgher and master interior decorator Václav Kondelík lives contentedly in his house on Ječná street. Their peace and quiet is disrupted when they are invited to a party where their daughter Pepička makes the acquaintance of the young municipal clerk František Vejvara. The young couple fall in love. Mrs Kondelíková is supportive of the relationship since Vejvara would make a suitable match for her daughter. Pepička's acquaintance, however, upsets the orderly life enjoyed by the Kondelíks. On the insistence of Vejvara and his family, Kondelík takes part in a chaotic secret outing undertaken by members of the Sokol gymnastics association. He has to attend a voluntary performance of Břetislav and Jitka in which Vejvara plays the leading role. During the party in the evening where fireworks are organised, he falls into the Vltava. Ultimately, it seems that everything is heading towards the desired end - a wedding. Vejvara is promoted and asks for Pepička's hand in marriage. The wedding preparations are stalled by the arrival of Vejvara's former landlady, Mrs Muknšnáblová who claims that Vejvara is promised to her daughter. When the situation is resolved, the wedding goes ahead, followed by the wedding night. (official distributor synopsis)
