Pelikán má alibi

The film follows street photographers Máček and Kalabis as they unwittingly witness a jewelry store robbery.

The film stars Miroslav Homola, Růžena Nasková, and František Kreuzmann among others, creating a notable ensemble cast. It serves as an interesting piece of film history for collectors of classic cinema, particularly those interested in European films from the 1940s.
