Josef Houbicka and his wife Filomena, being distant relatives to a soap maker Mamert Rorejs, inherited his house "U peti veverek" /The Five Squirrels/. Filomena starts to play a big boss and shrewd investor. She orders all the soap manufacture equipment out and wants to change the first floor space to a paid car garage. Josef feels awkward as he knows that Mamert was very proud of the history of his "squirrels" trade mark. When a former Mamert's foreman Aloyz brings Rorejs family chronicle starting in 1610, Josef finds that there is more than 300 years history of twelve generations of soap makers Rorejs who were in the last 150 years faithfully served by the Aloyzs. Filomena refuses to take it serious. She has plans and shouts at Josef to show him his proper place. But Josef has spent all his patience. He takes all his money, leaves his house behind and goes to a nearby inn. He hires a small room and becomes a business partner of the owner. Two young artists Rezek and Holec, who are living in his house and have been always very grateful for a support of their gentle landlord and always in a conflict with the landlady, bring their friends and the inn starts to prosper. The two men were dating Josef's nieces Mila and Lida for some time and Josef is supporting them in this too. When Filomena orders a reconstruction to the garage, the two men are obvious choice. Josef grants them the power and they stop the work. Filomena wants to call police but the young artists discover that she forged her husband's consent for the reconstruction and Josef takes the full control of the house, especially to continue in the long tradition of the luxury soap "with squirrels".
