What Is The Station Master About?
The premise of The Station Master without spoilers.
Vlasta Burian plays a stowaway who disrupts the routine of a railway station. The Chaplin‑like Mr. Ťopka survives by taking odd jobs, always riding hidden on the train. He encounters the feared Inspector General Kokrhel; at a small depot he puts on the stationmaster’s uniform, resulting in a comic showdown when the inspector arrives.
