Wealthy and ill Petr Kornel is not pleased with the carousing lifestyle of his nephew. He stops supporting him financially and demands that he change his name. Out of gratitude Kornel bequeaths a substantial sum of money to his nurse Alice with the condition that she marries. Petr Suk, as the nephew is now named, visits the doctor. In the waiting room his X-ray is mistakenly switched with one of another patient's. On the basis of this he presently learns that he is seriously ill and has only one day of life left to him. Therefore the young man sells all his belongings and sets out on one last binge. In his drunkenness he becomes mixed up in a minor traffic accident and is driven off to the hospital. There a nurse asks if as a dying man he would not perform a good deed and marry her colleague who will come into some money as a result. Petr agrees and without even knowing whom he has married takes off for home in the morning. The mistake with the X-rays is cleared up and Petr, who is healthy but completely ruined, sets off to his uncle's to request a loan. At his uncle's summer residence he meets Alice and falls in love with her. But before he can marry her he must first file for divorce. Alice discovers before he does that they are actually married and refuses the divorce. (official distributor synopsis)
