- DirectorGyörgy SzomjasStarsGyula Deák BillLászló FöldesJózsef KörösA Hungarian band plays American rock & roll and blues hits with great enthusiasm and passion, but success seems to avoid them. TV and radio don't play their songs, sometimes even their crowd just sits and sips beer. Something must be done, and the band's promoter/agent (played by Lóránt Schuszter) comes up with the big idea: write and play songs for the people about themselves and not about some exotic, but too distant people's life. "We move from Tobacco Road to Retek street" that is the summary of his revolutionary idea that connects the music roots to the new content of the lyrics to be. With the remains of the band and a second singer (Gyula Deák "Bill") they find what they failed to show people before. The rich new sound can finally translate the spirit of blues and rock much more than words from any dictionaries could, this is the Köbánya-blues. The fans - who are mostly young people - love the band and some fans even write admiring letters to the band. They feel they are on the right track for a career. They fire the promoter who takes back the dog - that should have been the image of the band and who induced the title song of the movie - to the dog home after the had fired him as promoter. The band continues to play in venues in front of new audience that is a promising path to a career. The band is going to strive for perfection of their newly found path to reach people with real stories in their songs that connect to people through similarities with their lives.

- DirectorGyula GazdagStarsEvald SchormIstván IglódiLili MonoriTwo librettists, Mr. Rezso and Mr. Dezso arrive and pluck people living in a bare valley, in order to turn them into operetta characters. The two librettists come up with a plot in which selected young men and women are designated into two opposing groups, both claiming ownership and intending to take possession and restore a house in ruin. Their fierce battle is anticipated to turn into blissful love by the end. While the librettists attempt to shepherd judiciously the youngsters' relationships in the desired direction, the enactment is constantly derailed. Whenever the characters' instincts follow natural impulses, the creators relentlessly correct digressions, reverse undesired developments, sometimes by rewinding time and reenacting events, shaped into their liking. The Ageless Goddess of operetta appears and irons out the scheme by performing a Socialist Realist lullaby from 1947. Finally, all resemblance to the characters' original individuality is converted into clichés of operetta characters. The couples and their adversaries have been fixed into their happy matrimonial lives ever after.
