How to Drown Dr Mráček, the Lawyer is a comedy where the supernatural abilities of a water-nymph family collide with the reality of normalization. The film's plot is based on the efforts of an over-conscientious housing clerk, Dr Mráček, who is trying to help the Prague water-nymph family to move to a "better" flat. However, the water inhabitants of the damp dwelling in Prague's Kampa district find the idea of living in a dry block of flats repugnant. The head of the family, Mr Wasserman, therefore devises a plan to remove the inconvenient clerk. Director Václav Vorlíček offered acting opportunities to legends such as Miloš Kopecký, František Filipovský and Vladimír Menšík, as well as younger actors Jaromír Hanzlík and Libuše Šafránková. The opening song, "Znala panna pána", was sung by Helena Vondráčková and Václav Neckář.
