Eva macht Dummheiten

After many years abroad Michal Nor returns home to his aunt Pa and his sister Eva, who has just arrived from boarding school. The aunt has a birthday coming up and Eva knows that she would really like instructions for growing a variety of rose that her neighbour, factory owner Záhorský, has cultivated. But the aunt is not on good terms with the neighbours and so the vivacious Eva, with her mind set on stealing the instructions, infiltrates the Záhorský's as a secretary. In the house she by chance comes face to face with Michal who is posing as an English earl to save Záhorský's daughter Eliška from an unwanted engagement with the clumsy Zdeněk. The home is under the strong hand of Mrs. Záhorský, who has on her conscience one improper deed: she refused to return a friend her bracelet that her friend had left with her for a time as collateral on a loan. For this reason Jiří Kučera, the son of this woman, is also working at the Záhorský's, trying to regain the family jewel. So there is a great deal of confusion in the house, but eventually everything is cleared up. In the end Mr. Záhorský intervenes resolutely. He compels his wife to return the jewel, Michal gets gets Eliška, Eva wins Jiří's heart and aunt Pa now has the instructions on how to grow the Záhorský's rose. (Verleiher-Text)
