Good-looking Edita Beningerova (Jana Brejchova) arrives at a chemical factory in the North Bohemian town of Usti nad Labem together with her young assistant Nada (Zlata Adamovska). She is hoping that her ex-husband, outstanding practical chemical engineer Vik Panc (Eduard Cupak), will help her conduct an experiment to validate her proposed theoretical method of isolating cholesterol from lanolin. The success of Edita's invention is crucial for her career at the Prague Institute of Chemistry. Vik's room mate from his hostel Breta (Ivan Vyskocil) is thrilled. He will finally meet the mysterious and fascinating Edita about whom he has learned so much from Vik.
