A Girl with a Temper

The best farm worker Katya Ivanova travels to the district center, in search of truth and the possibility of punishing the director-bureaucrat Meshkov, who collapsed the once prosperous work in the Far East animal-breeding sovkhoz. On the way to the station, Katya manages to catch and hand over a saboteur to the border guards. She then rides the train without a ticket to write a complaint, which means that she has to work as a waitress in the dining car on the way to Moscow. On the train, Katya meets a sailor Sergei, but upon arrival in Moscow they lose each other. Katya is employed as a saleswoman in a fur shop and after that at a factory of gramophone records. At the same time she actively convinces female colleagues to go to the Far East. For a long time Sergei looks for Katya and he finally finds her. Meanwhile, Katya's complaint is examined. Meshkov is dismissed and Katya is appointed as the new director of the farm. Katya and Sergei go to the Far East. ==Cast==
