Poor locksmith journeyman Bolek gets into a fight in defense of his acquaintance. Fleeing from the police, he finds refuge in a stranger’s house, and joins the party inside. The guest take him for Lolek, the wealthy but goofy son of a wealthy businessman, because of the similarity of names.

Bolek in Lolek’s skin gets a job for himself and meets the American’s daughter, with whom he immediately falls in love.
