Jindřich Beránek, a mild mannered engineer, is astonished when Jessie, the voluptuous heroine of a comic strip he had been dreaming about, materialises next to him in bed one morning, a side-effect of his scientist wife drugging him with a serum she had been testing on cattle. Moreover, Jessie is not the only one to have escaped her fictitious cartoon frame confines; two supervillains (a cowboy and Superman!) are in pursuit, filling the screen with speech bubbles and running amok across a
satirically bureaucratic 1960s Prague. Kája Saudek, called the King of the Czech comic books, is the author of the poster and fictional comics for the film.
