Synopsis by Clarke Fountain

This bedroom farce takes place at a large country estate in the period between the two world wars. It has been rented by Stoklasa (Marian Labuda) a somewhat uncouth but very wealthy businessman, who hopes to buy it. He and his family and staff have settled down comfortably when they are visited by a nobleman acquaintance, Duke Alexi (Josef Abrham), whose genial, boisterous ways and penchant for women sets the whole region in an uproar. The hero of this tale is Spera (Jaromir Hanzlik) a young man with a similar yearning to bed women. He is constantly frustrated in his attempts by the ever-present duke, who always manages to get to the girls first. While that is going on, the businessman's daughter and the son of people from a neighboring estate have been seeing each other, and are constantly being frustrated by their inability to find a private spot to make love in.
