Plot

Professor Leonid S. Fedorov and Nikolai Gurov, a cobbler at "Moskooppromsoyuza", both set off for the resort at Yessentuki. They have both left their passports at home and their wives both take them into the post-office to send them. The girl addressing the two envelopes is distracted by a phone conversation about a date and mistakenly sends the professor's passport to the cobbler and vice versa. After several comedic misunderstandings, the two men's wives arrive at the resort and clarify everything.
