This Way or HighwaySummary
A commercial promoting gas appliances - geysers, kitchen stoves, heaters and others - produced by the Prague Gas Company and, simultaneously, advertising the company's individual branches.
Synopsis
A magic elf demonstrates a gas water heater in a bathroom. A contented child soaks in a tub filled with water warmed by the gas geyser. Next time, the magic elf presents a gas stove in a kitchen. A duck and a cauliflower joyfully jump into a saucepan and they soon turn into a mouth-watering meal. The elf then shifts to the kitchen sink to demonstrate another gas water heater. The dishes enjoy a delightful shower in warm water and sweep out onto the shelves. The elf then promotes a special gas water heater, which washes laundry automatically. An old man rests in his armchair, wrapped in a blanket and accompanied by a blanket-covered dachshund lying at his feet. As they come to feel the effect of the gas heaters at their feet, they remove their blankets, and the man and the dog dance joyfully. The promo concludes with presenting gas appliances for homes and in providing a guided tour through the Prague Gas Company centre showroom.
