In 'Stop Press' the complicated mechanism of plutocracy is revealed which enslaves the weak citizen. At the same time the play unveils and crashes ethically a very powerful economic factor, Grigory Bougan, a voracious and unconscious industrialist, the owner of huge industries of cement, elevators, footwear, who unscrupulously and cynically can succeed everything: buy a printer shop at an unbelievable price, being indifferent for the amount of money, to resell it in half an hour or to invite whenever he likes in his office, the Minister of Education to order him to dismiss arbitrarily an academic teacher and recall later this order. This corrupted world comes suddenly in conflict with a new reality when an honest man appears, professor Andronik, who does not accept to be bribed and is against any unethical rackets. This is the starting point of the comedy. What will derive however from the collision of these two different worlds and diametrically opposite poles? Magia Minou, a little dreamy and imaginative lady, creates the unifying bridge, although she is nearer to the reality than Andronik. Conceiving only a part of the true, without understanding what is happening exactly, finds the solution of the problem so as everybody remains happy.
