The municipal institution of supplementary education (MUDE) in the provincial town of Kovyazin is on the verge of closure. The children’s organization was declared unprofitable. The teachers were confronted with the fact that they were offered independent employment in local schools.

Manzhetov, an enterprising local politician, has plans for the old mansion where the MUDO is located. He intends to organize a profitable enterprise here under the guise of a youth anti-crisis center.

Methodist and artist Boris Morzhov tries to oppose the official. For this purpose he enlists the time-tested method of embezzlement and «dead souls», as well as his numerous love connections. Manzhetov is forced to suspend the liquidation of the institution in order to take American children on vacation at the MUDO camp. The teachers create a semblance of activity.
