Every week a travelling shrine of St Florian is moved between the villages of Zbořov and Spáňovice. This no longer amuses local farmer Florián Jírovec, who always has to make his horses available for the occasion. He backs the idea of building a proper brick chapel in Zbořov. At night, the saint himself visits the farmer and repays him for his efforts with a miracle. He sends him a golden cord down from Heaven, which can regulate weather. Soon after, Jírovec impresses other farmers with accurate weather forecasts. The nearby small town of Capartice is the gathering place for the local elite, led by the senile Baron Hubert. They ridicule the peasant's reported abilities. But then he correctly forecasts snow, which is secretly activated by his wife, Markyta. Jírovec becomes famous. People in his village start to clamour against permanent weather changes. Offended, all summer long Jírovec causes rain to fall just on his land, creating a paradise garden that becomes a place of pilgrimage. Suitors begin to ask for the hand of Baruška, daughter of the famous man. But Baruška already loves her Václav for a long time and declines the genteel life. Markyta also refuses to play the part of the "lady". In the end, Baruška gives away the source of the miracle to Václav. At night, he cuts the cord, which rises up to heaven. After this, all goes back to normal.
