The wealthy factory owner Osten has worked his way up to his position through energy and hard work. But he has one failing, and that is that he cannot accept the fact that he, too, must get old. He is furthermore horrified by the idea that he might become a grandfather. He will do anything to stop this from happening, even act as a rival in his son's love. One day Jiří has had enough of his father's behaviour and decides to leave home and his comfortable life behind. He even changes his name and enters a rival factory as a manual worker to prove to his father that he can work his way up from scratch as well. Then Jiří meets the energetic dressmaker Tonička, who studies in the evenings so she can get a job as a clerk. The young couple are happy together, but then Osten steps in once again. He offers Tonička a job as secretary and is even prepared to woo and win her for himself. Before father and son come to blows, Tonička tells the fuming Jiří that she is expecting. Osten then accepts his new role with resignation. (official distributor synopsis)
