Štebe, a chauffeur, is a widower with five sons. They have a housekeeper called Rosy. The boys with their little tricks and boyish pranks are the despair of the bourgeois neighbourhood. Everyone calls them "the pests". Rosy has often threatened to leave them and finally she really does pack her bags and goes home to the countryside. Sooner after Rosy leaves, her niece Meri turns up to visit her and also moves in. Meri is nowhere as good as Rosy when it comes to running a household. Tone, a friend of Štebe, begins to take an interest in Meri. Meri starts to go out a lot, but Tone doesn't know where she goes. As time goes on, the Štebes really begin to miss their housekeeper. Tone looks Rosy up and persuades her to come back to them. Everyone is delighted. Meri explains what it was that kept her from home. She has been going to school and now she is a bus driver.
