Soldier Armenak is given an extraordinary task: to transport an elephant from Germany to the Yerevan Zoo.

After serving in the army, Lyonka Parasochka got a driver in the fleet, deciding to continue his father's tradition. His mentor was Pyotr Demyanovich Volovich, who knew how to make money by "left trips" and various "operations". Lyonka saw that Volovich lived widely, beyond his means, but at first he somehow did not think about the sources of wealth. Apparently because he was in love with Volovich's daughter Lyusya.

Based on the short story of the same name by N. Bogdanov. About the loggers Kryazh and his grandson Kryazhonok.
