Ms Mossie's boarding house for bachelors strictly prohibits female visitors. But this doesn't prevent young Bernard from smuggling in his lover Andela. During one night and an early morning, Bernard has his hands full trying to hide Andela from his strict landlady and his nosey roommate. This situation comedy is a film adaptation of a play by Sean O'Casey, brimming with covert critical hints on the massive bureaucracy in Czechoslovakia at that time.
