The purpose of this contribution is to introduce the critical edition of the unpublished typescript of the radio drama that was written by Zdeněk Jerman (real name Josef Heller; 1910–1971). The radio drama was broadcasted by Czechoslovak Radio between the years 1947–1948. The radio drama criticised the sharp practices of the American department store in a humorous way and drew some moral consequences. The introductory study describes the radio drama in the years of its origin during post-war Czechoslovakia, mainly the context of Czechoslovak cultural policy and the reception of the radio drama.
