František Koudelka is a motor mechanic, who works in a local agricultural co-operative. Thanks to his aunt he gets a favoured job in a luxurious car service in Prague. On the way to the city he gets to a meeting propagating conditiograms, a sure scientific way how to be successful based on biological biorhythms. He buys one and arrives to Prague, where he is housed at his aunt and shares one room with her dog that sleeps dressed in pyjamas, stars at exhibitions and must be walked every evening. The next day he is employed in the car service, where every three months one of mechanics gets mad of big salaries and ends in a mental house directed by dr. Chocholoušek. František soon finds out that the conditiogram may really work and he also offers it to his colleague Béďa. After some time František falls in love with a waitress from a restaurant, who returns his interest, but it seems that it won’t be easy for him, because her strong-arm colleague loves her too. His new girl-friend invites him to a judo club… I think it makes no sense to continue, because the end of the movie is enacted in the style of a crazy comedy and there wouldn’t be enough space for the description of all situations, where František takes part. I only add that he is eventually pursuaded by dr. Chocholoušek and his men, because it seems that he got mad, but fortunately, he is mistakenly confused with his colleague Béďa, then with a Japanese artist, a nervous car racer, a judo-competitor, and, in the end, with his rival in love, who all end at Chocholoušek’s clinic. —ospage2000.ic.cz
