- Smartened up and wearing bowler hats, three youths - Eman, Oskar and Milda - drive up to the town hall registry office in the Cleopatra, their antiquated Walter car, just as their freshly married friend Petar comes out of the building with his wedding guests. Their congratulations, or rather condolences, make clear what they think of his "betrayal", since earlier they had all made a promise never to resign themselves to women. They later invite the apprentice gardener Pída to join the party, but only after he makes a solemn promise that he will never give up his freedom for a girl. Milda, the student, is secretly smitten with Olina, but has to hide his feelings. The holidays are approaching and the party ride off to the Orlík reservoir in their Cleopatra.
- A complete reproduction of the "Life and Passion of Christ," as enacted annually since 1816 by the peasants of the mountain town of Horitz, Bohemia. This magnificent production cost over $10,000 and required over three weeks of constant labor on the part of the large staff of operators. About 300 people take part in the play, which is staged and costumed in a most elaborate manner. This is the finest reproduction of the Passion Play that has ever been made, and it is well to remember that the Oberammergau Passion Play has never been reproduced in its original form by motion-photography. The Horitz play is more graphic and more replete with interesting situations.
- A record of a theatre performance called Horicke pasije (Passion of Horice). This is about about life (birth and death) of Jesus Christ performed by local actors.
