Plot

Jokester Kesha Chetvergov (Sergei Prokhanov), after graduating from school, is not able to find interesting work for himself. He did not get a higher education and failed to stay at any job for longer than two weeks. Most of his time he spends by messing around with his immature friends Bublik (Valery Kislenko), Motyl (Felix Krol) and Ponchik (Sergey Bachursky).

Eventually, the district policeman Yevseyev (Vadim Aleksandrov), who previously sympathized with the guy and helped him with finding work, finally loses his patience and calls Innokenty to a meeting of the committee of lay judges at the Housing Committee, where his fate is to be decided.

The public is determined to take serious measures against the young man as a parasite, but kindergarten director Marina Borisovna Mikhalchuk (Lyudmila Shagalova) stands up for him.

Marina Borisovna convinces the assessors to give Chetvergov another chance to correct his behavior and employs Kesha in her kindergarten as a night shift nanny.
