The film documents the course of events taking place during the Sokol Festival Gathering of the North-Bohemian District held in the town of Prostějov. We can see the busy square and the adjacent streets, a parade marching through the town, and parts of individual exercise pieces performed near the Prostějov Sokol hall.

On a rainy and windy day there is marching a procession of priests and town dignitaries. A big community of priests is consecrating the foundation stone of the memorial of František Palacký. The Prague Archbishop František Schönborn is blessing the foundation stone. The Priests are lying down blessed stone cube components and form them into one big unit.
