Same as every year, the family of the official Dyndera come to have their holiday in the small spa resort Džbery, and, as usual, they stay in the At the Stone Table inn. Spytihněv and Tomáš, the nephews of the Tatrmuž married couple who are the owners of the inn, come to stay with them for the holiday. They haven't spoken to each other since they quarreled about a glass marble as little boys. From the moment of their arrival, Spytihněv and Tomáš are fascinated by Dyndera's daughters, Věra and Alena, and they start to flirt with them. A promising start to the holiday idyll is disturbed by the owner's wife Božena running off with Beno Mertens, an actor from the travelling company. Unhappy Tatrmuž shuts himself inside his room and the nephews have to take over the running of the business, changing places as manager and head waiter each week. The inn is not quite flourishing under their management. The Dyndera family can't stand seeing Tatrmuž's grief and the bankruptcy of the company so they decide to act. The energetic wife of the official finds the innkeeper's wife and persuades her to come back. A few remaining guests welcome Božena back warmly, Tatrmuž forgives his wife, and the nephews can devote themselves to their girls, who manage to reconcile the two young men.
