Actors in a provincial theatre company get drunk to such an extent that they are unable to perform. In order to save the performance, the director's daughter persuades the choirmaster to help. The director and his wife manage to engage the services of other "actors" a cattle driver who at that moment is bringing manure out of the courtyard, a barrel-organ grinder and a procession reciter.
The film was banned by the censors for the following reason: "...since it contains a number of vulgar scenes whose public screening would go against decency and good morals" (quotation from the censorship certificate), "drunken theatre society – crude acting performed by new ´actors´, where their backsides play an important part." (Bulletin of the Interior Ministry of the Czechoslovak Republic 5, 1923, č. 1, s. 28) The film materials are believed lost.
