Tram to Poděbrady

A post office in the Prague suburbs is robbed by a young punk. A tram X substitutes for the regular line due to a subway breakdown. Its driver, Arnošt, likes to joke with passengers who ask about the changed direction that he is going to the Poděbrady spa. The company on the tram is rather mixed: a codger pampering a bottle of slivovitz, home-made plum brandy, a married couple, a post-office robber as well as a popular singer who loses a one-hundred crown banknote which he wanted to change. Fans of the football clubs Sparta and Slávie cause a riot. At the terminal stop, the robber threatens the tram driver with a gun. The tram, now containing only the slivovitz codger and a black foreigner with a dog, takes another direction than where the dispatcher sends it, and it soon disappears. Arnošt's last words on the walkie-talkie say that he has been kidnapped and is going to Poděbrady. The tram dashes through the dark and is passed by an equal carriage going in the opposite direction. In the early morning, the tram stands in the centre of Poděbrady. The thief runs away but he gets to a subway tunnel and in the station, Jiří of Poděbrady is arrested. The leap in time and space ends and the tram is in Prague again.
