Peter the tramp (
Karel Lamac) wants to end his life but he isn't successful in doing so. After his third attempt at suicide he jumps under a car but the owner and driver, Jirí Landa (
Karel Lamac again), brakes in time. He notices their similar builds and gives Peter a winter coat. In the pocket is a forgotten invitation to a ball where Jirí is to meet his future bride, Anicka Karesová (
Anny Ondra), for the first time. Peter goes to the ball instead of Jirí and immediately wins the favour of Anicka and her father (
Theodor Pistek).
