Description
The Heroic Captain Korkoran / Hrdinny kapitan Korkoran DVD
Synopsis
Captain Adam Korkorán, who helms the modest steamboat Primator Dittrich on the Vltava River, imagines himself as a celebrated hero of pirate tales, and is mistakenly regarded as an admiral by the snobbish spa society. This mix-up began with issues from the steamboat company's management. When Korkorán refused to retire, he was sent to a spa to give the management some peace. However, at the Poděbrady station, a servant from a luxurious spa hotel mixes up the luggage, leading to Korkorán being mistaken for a wealthy corvette captain. Seduced by the opulence, he does not correct the mistake but instead fully embraces his new role, deceiving even the experienced retired Admiral Piacci. He befriends Piacci and is declared the most popular guest of the season. However, when he runs out of money, he writes to his housekeeper to send him savings, which distresses her enough to visit him, inadvertently revealing the truth. Embarrassed and disgraced, Korkorán returns home, expecting dismissal but instead receives a promotion to chief inspector, as Admiral Piacci, his friend from the spa, turns out to be the owner of the steamboat company.
