Gymnastics professor Vašek Žamberk would like to get closer to Miss Lenka Stříbrná. He invites her to races and introduces her to his friend Karel, editor in a big publishing house. Karel, an experienced seducer, seizes the opportunity. But it seems that the girl is far more interested in Karel's superior, editor-in-chief Procházka. Karel, who is capable of brilliantly navigating his way through all the difficulties of the Communist regime, does not give up. He endeavours to win Lenka over, the more so since he has really fallen in love with her. Procházka organizes a get-together for his company at Slapy. Lenka also shows up at the party and again takes no notice of anybody but the boss. In the morning, the guests learn that Procházka has drowned. They all believe his death was an accident, since he spent the entire night drinking excessively. Then again, one of the editors claims that he saw a female figure in the boat with their boss. Only now does Karel put together the apparently insignificant details of his encounter and contact with Lenka, and he arrives at the truth. His boss was the fiancé of Lenka's sister. She was a Jewess and as such, fated for a German concentration camp. Her fiancé could have saved her by marrying her, but did not help and so the entire Stříbrný family was gassed. Lenka is the only one to have survived. During their evening sail on the boat, she told Procházka who she was, and then it was enough not to give him a helping hand.
