Emanuel Pokorný lives in modest circumstances in a boarding house in the suburbs because he does not have a job. Roubal, a former fellow student, recommends Emanuel for the post of teacher at a provincial girl's boarding school. Single mother Lidka has found work and has asked her ex-lover and the father of the child, Jiří, to look after it for a few days. Jiří, who lives in the same boarding house as Emanuel, prizes his freedom and wants to get rid of the baby. So he puts it in Emanuel's bed and disappears. Emanuel, surprised, does not have time to go searching for the child's parents because he is busy looking after it. The next day he goes to the girls' school for an interview. Because of his spotless record, he gets the teaching job. He smuggles the baby secretly into his quarters in a basket. The students he teaches get the impression that he does not live alone. His secret is discovered by Vlasta who is secretly in love with Emanuel. The girls decide to help Emanuel. But the principal finds out about it and Emanuel is dismissed. At the last moment the baby's mother Lidka appears, and everything is explained. But Emanuel finds he cannot live without the baby, so he asks for Lidka's hand and she gladly accepts.
