About film: In a standard tale that begins on a comic note and ends seriously, a certain young jockey is a fan of Western pulp fiction and his obsession gets him and everyone else into trouble. He and his fellow jockeys work on a Czech stud farm, training horses. He acts out a part of his Western fantasies by calling himself the "Beaver Kid." This grates on the nerves of his comrades in the saddle and they decide to break him of his fantasy life once and for all. They act out a raid on their paymaster, a raid which takes a wrong turn when he is accidentally killed. They end up with quite a bit of money and in deep hot water.
