Plot[]

Two scientists: the biologist-geneticist (Yevgeny Vesnik) and the programmer Kostya (Sergey Bekhterev) wish to create a cyborg to fight against the mafia. However, in the programming process there is a mistake: the robot is given the form of a female glamour model about whom the programmer secretly fantasized about.

However, the resulting superwoman Manya (Yuliya Menshova) despite her contrasting external appearance is ready to perform the initial plan: the combat against racketeering. And she successfully fulfills the task: neither bullets or by land-to-air missiles hurt her. However the mafia finds out, how to defeat the crime fighters: a real pin-up girl is presented to Kostya and he forgets about "Super Manya", and Manya is unable to cope with the latest achievements of the Academy of Sciences. Nevertheless, everything ends successfully, crime is destroyed, but only with this the superwoman's program has ended and is about to be retired. The creators brighten up the last days of her existence with a deserved vacation.
