Bene, tired of the professional battles of engineers and trying to escape a ship-wrecked marriage, asks to be transferred to the country. The gravest problem of the sandy region in Nagyalföld (Great Hungarian Plain) is the shortage of water. The tireless director of the local state farm asks for Bene's support, but the disillusioned man refuses him. Kecskés has a well dug, and suddenly it is revealed that there is a cheaper and simpler solution than the channel construction project planned officially. The engineer forgets his indifference and starts working feverishly with Kecskés. The head accountant and their bosses are concerned, but the two men find the way around official bureaucracy. As a result, Bene is removed to Budapest and Kecskés is dismissed. The situation is remedied in the last minute by the arrival of the member of parliament, also a member of the Central Committee. Eventually Bene leaves, and he is accompanied by the young assistant woman, Eti. (official distributor synopsis)
