Synopsis

The schnauzer dog Rafík keeps running away from the garden and it is imminent that it will be caught up by the basket-maker Tonda. He is said to eat dogs. Rafík's owner is a professor and naive painter to whom a company of oldies and a corpulent woman Zuzanka, who is generally admired stand for a model. The woman comes often and looks after the household of the professor. While looking at her the painter always warms up but he devotes his passion to his pictures. One day Rafík get lost. The professor finds up in Tonda's cottage in the oven the four-leg roast meat. He buries it along with a pan in the garden. But Rafík comes back from amours and the apologizing party to Tonda ends up with the garden full of drunken sleepers. It is only Zuzanka that gives up to Tonda's longing and is leaving with him.
