In order to attract the attention of potential audience, a young impresario decides to spread the rumor that the most senior actress can die on stage during the performance.

A troupe of would-be actors on the tour of provinces feature a once great actress, the woman now deaf, dumb and senile. In order to keep the production alive, the young impresario doubles as "applause-getter" to assure elderly actress that she is not playing before an empty theater. To bring in the crowds he spreads the rumor that she may die at one of the next performances, right on the stage.—Polish Cinema Database <http://info.fuw.edu.pl/Filmy/>
