L’ingénieur Jindřich Beránek travaille au sein de la société Elektrojeřáby alors que sa femme Růžena, autoritaire et énergique, voire tyrannique, travaille dans un institut de recherche. La professeure Beránková invente ainsi un procédé qui supprime les rêves désagréables. Elle reproduit l’expérience avec une vache au cours d’une conférence, qui voit disparaitre un taon du rêve de la vache (les rêves étant retransmis… sur un écran de télévision). Mais le taon réapparait alors dans la salle, et échappe à l’attention des protagonistes. Jindřich Beránek trouve quant à lui une série de bandes dessinées, où la ravissante héroïne Jessie échappe à ses poursuivants en utilisant des gants anti-gravité. L’idée lui vient alors de mettre au point un procédé identique.

In the frontier town of Stetson City, Arizona, in 1885, business is booming at the Trigger Whisky Saloon. Tornado Lou, the local chanteuse, regales the saloon-goers with a sultry ballad ("Když v báru housne dým"), while the saloon owner Doug Badman tries in vain to woo her. Two evangelists, Ezra Goodman and his daughter Winnifred, enter the bar attempting to drum up interest in their temperance movement, but the saloon's hard-drinking cowboys scorn them. Into the fracas steps a stranger: Lemonade Joe, a lone cowboy singing the praises of Kolaloka, a non-alcoholic soft drink (in Czech, limonàda, hence the name). His superior gunfighting skill quickly convinces the saloon-goers of the benefits of teetotalism. Before long, Joe and the Goodmans have joined forces, Joe has begun courting Winnifred, and all the cowboys in Stetson City have transferred their loyalty to the cathedral-like God Bless Kolaloka Saloon ("Arizóna, to je pravých mužů zóna").
