Plot synopsis

The new director of the club Ogurtsov, a bureaucrat and churl, actively interferes in the preparations for the New Year carnival demanding to exclude from the programme some witty and gifted performances. The party organizers are in despair. But their desire and capability to have fun help them «to account for» Ogurtsov, by putting him into the program as a satirical character while he is not aware of it. Both the concert and the ball were a success. Along with social tasks personal problems were also solved: at last Grisha managed to declare his love for Lena.
