Synopsis

A period war comedy based on script by comic writers Jiří Šebánek and Miloň Čepelka which signs on to the tradition of successful French crazy comedies. The protagonists, a train engineer and stoker, find it necessary to beat a hasty retreat FROM the Nazis. They are forced to wear enemy uniforms and, in the company of German fugitives and a recently shot down American pilot, must find a way out of complications typical for the genre. The film features many excellent Czech actors.
