A team of young employees of the club is preparing for the New Year. They plan to hold an interesting and cheerful holiday, but, to the misfortune of the guys, they are taken by the director of the club Ogurtsov - the bureaucrat, the letterhead and the cronus. Having gathered everyone in his office, he tells in detail about his "vision" of how it is right and useful to spend a New Year's Eve. Organizers understand that Ogurtsov is going to present a cocktail from the amateur performance and party meeting to the guests of the club instead of the holiday. And then the youth decides to circumvent the near-by boss by cunning to organize a real New Year's ball.
