Because of Nadia's status of a respectable and reliable person, the Komsomol members, without wasting time immediately give her the assignment to re-educate the boys. At first, Nadya takes it with reluctance and apprehension, but gradually this task becomes the most important thing in her life; she brings the mischief-makers to lectures about marine biology, reads them Goncharov's novel Oblomov, makes the friends quit smoking and drinking.
