Bimbo's Unfortunate Adventure(1930)

The draughtsman Jára receives a letter from his girlfriend in which she parts with him. He is very unhappy and tries to shoot himself with a gun. Deranged, he spills ink from a bottle on the table. A clown Bimbo is born from the ink and he thanks Jára for setting him free. He keeps inventing how to surprise the draughtsman and cheer him up. Their friendship, however, is soon over, as the clown has conjured up a girlfriend for Jára. The draughtsman sets off to the open air with his new girlfriend, leaving the drawn forlorn Bimbo desolated in grief for losing a friend. The film is often dated 1927, but the documented censorship record originates from as late as 1930. Information about the year 1927 is on a single surviving copy in an opening title, which is not original. Nothing as to who created the given title and from which sources the person in question drew information about the date of origination of the film was found. The author of the rhymed subheadings is Karel Smrž.
