Plot
editSzczepko and Tońko work in a Lwów doll factory until they are fired for violating the factory's rule against singing. The two then wander around a nearby park, where they find an abandoned infant and decide to take care of it. The niece of the factory owner, Wanda Ruczyńska, then appears and asks the two men for assistance with her car. In a mix-up, Wanda ends up leaving with the baby and Szczepko and Tońko are empty-handed. Wanda and her uncle take the baby with them to Warsaw, so Szczepko and Tońko hide inside a toy crate and ship themselves to the city to find the baby. Upon their arrival, they argue with Wanda over ownership of the baby, but are induced to work at the family's toy shop in exchange for seeing the baby. Under the direction of Szczepko and Tońko's goofiness, the toy shop becomes incredibly successful. It is eventually decided that the baby will stay with Wanda and her newfound love, while Szczepko and Tońko are cast out of the family and wander off to find new adventure.
