The whole conflict of the plot lies in the fact that the employees of the Sovremennik studio want to divide money that does not belong to them. Colleagues Volodya Oreshkina cling to the fact that the main character bought a winning bond for money from the general cash register (which, by the way, he just borrowed). They use this argument to force Oreshkin to give them the win.

But since the picture is Soviet, the director had to make the final childishly naive: everyone repented of their deeds, and the money still returned them to the true owner, albeit in a reduced volume.
