Plot synopsis
"The second film in a series shot during the war, the central character of which was the hero of Jaroslav Hašek's novel. Czech patriots are preparing an action to free their comrade from the clutches of the Guestapo. They gather in a tavern, pretending to be wedding guests. While waiting for the fugitives, Schweik, in the role of the newlywed, distracts his comrades by telling them stories whose heroes are French patriots. The operation goes well and the brave soldier manages to escape from the fascists." E. Margolit, V. Chmyrov "The Confiscated Cinema", Moscow, Double-D, 1
