90 minutes exactly — the "classic feature" runtime most directors aim for.

A priceless archaeological find, the “Mother of Barcika”, is loaded onto a special train to tour Hungary, only for fate to derail it at the sleepy Ivaros station. There, the engine, a gendarme, the relic and its guards all end up stranded in a pigsty, igniting chaos: the relic is gambled away, the station master loses control, and the local mayor’s daughter finds unexpected love. In the ensuing mayhem, rivalries, romances and small-town intrigues all collide until order is somehow restored.
“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
