About the film
On a train to the south, Kostya buys a lottery ticket for a pretty girl, Tanya. She fills it in without looking, and the ticket ends up inside a detective novel that changes hands.
When it turns out the numbers might win 20,000 roubles, a comic chase begins along the Crimean coast, with a greedy speculator, a clumsy holidaymaker and a lot of misunderstandings.
A sunny late comedy by Leonid Gaidai, one of the biggest box-office hits of its year.
