Plot
A random event brought two completely different people together: a schoolboy Zhenya Grachev and a former locksmith who is now a crane driver - Zhora Myakishev. The boy escaped from the camp to see his brother who is serving in the army. Myakishev stole a car with a watering depot to arrange rain for filmmakers who rented him a dress suit.
Both are hiding from the police, but by inadvertence, Myakishev specifically is entrusted with accompanying the caught boy to the city. When they get to know each other closer these very different people become good friends.
The tailcoat which was obtained with difficulty, must transform George Myakishev into a gentleman. During the televised TV finals of the competitive ballroom dancing he can finally prove to the girl he likes that he is not such a scapegrace as everyone thinks he is.
