What Is Street Is Full of Surprises About?
The premise of Street Is Full of Surprises without spoilers.
Chief accountant Porfiry Petrovich Smirnov‑Alyansky, celebrating his colleague cashier Ivan Zakharovich Vodnev’s anniversary, hops into a traffic‑controller’s booth and creates a jam on a Leningrad street. Guard Vasiliy Shaneshkin mistakenly takes the respectable cashier to the police station instead of an escaped criminal. Ivan, upset, discovers he is the father of Vasiliy’s fiancée, Katya. Though Vasiliy admits his error, he cannot fully explain, leaving Ivan with a poor impression of the Soviet police—until a young sergeant later gets a chance to demonstrate the officers’ responsibility and integrity.
