Bulcsú, Sándor Csányi is a ticket inspector on the underground; he spends his nights sleeping on the train platforms, and never leaves the subterranean world. His ragtag team of inspectors – consisting of the veteran Zoltán Mucsi as Professzor, the disheveled Sándor Badár as Lecsó, the neurotic narcoleptic Csaba Pindroch as Muki and the dimwitted greenhorn Zsolt Nagy as Tibi – is routinely disrespected and assaulted by commuters who evade paying fines in a variety of ways.
