Two somewhat crazy friends Milan (Milan Lasica) and Julo (Július Satinský) resolve to have a peaceful holiday in an old guard house that Julo has bought from his uncle. But in the early hours of the very first morning they are woken up by the loud sound of a trumpet. It is the severe supervisor of a nearby recreation center forcing the children out of their beds and out to exercise drill. To protect themselves from the children, Milan and Julo put up signs saying "private property". The first to disturb their privacy is the supervisor's little granddaughter Miluska, who uses their shed as her gingerbread house. The children in the camp are disgruntled, the supervisor's program bores them, and so they make up all sorts of other things to do.

A story of Pepik, an orphaned boy recently adopted by foster family.

Thieves Svarc and Cihák are interrupted in their robbery of a jeweler's store. In order to disappear as quickly as possible, they jump into the nearest car and leave, finding on the way that a little boy named Jirka, son of the car's owner, is with them. They take him to a cottage where Cihák's eighteen-year old daughter Milena attends to him. Jirka first treats Milena with hostility, but as days pass, the "prisoner" and the "guard" become close. Milena cooks for the boy and takes care of him, but nothing can intimidate the dauntless Jirka and he seeks for the first opportunity to escape.

Tanya, a 10-year-old Russian tourist traveling with her parents from Prague to Brno, is left behind in a foreign country. Tanya leaves her compartment when the train stops because of a cow. Disobeying her parent's instructions, she gets off the train to investigate, lingers too long, and is left behind. Cold, lonely, and clad only in her pajamas in the unfamiliar countryside, the girl is relieved to meet up with two rather nervous Czech boys camping out together for the first time. At first the would-be "cowboys" are frightened by her ghost-like appearance. After hearing her story, the boys find Tanya a dress to wear and accompany the girl on foot to her final destination, Brno.

El astronauta Toni aterriza en la Luna y tras desmayarse cae en una profunda ensoñación. En su particular alucinación, el viajero estelar se encuentra con míticos visitantes de la Luna como Cyrano de Bergerac, Nicholas, Barbican, Michael Ardan y el barón Münchhausen. Se toman unas copas y el barón, tomando a Toni por habitante lunar, decide llevarlo a la Tierra para que conozca cómo viven los seres humanos. Aterrizan en Constantinopla, donde Blanca, una princesa del harén, se fija en Toni, a quien le pide que la libere. El barón le ayuda entonces a raptarla mediante sutiles métodos como pasarse por la espada a medio ejército aprovechando un apagón. Entonces huyen a caballo y se embarcan en un velero que se ve inmerso en una emboscada de la inmensa armada turca. De nuevo, el ingenio del barón los saca del atolladero y huyen en botes, pero son tragados por una ballena en la cual recorren medio mundo...

Un malvado millonario llamado Artigas planea utilizar un artefacto explosivo para doblegar a las naciones libres, operando desde un submarino pirata, donde mantiene como prisionero al inventor del explosivo. En uno de sus raids hunde un buque que llevaba a la bella Jana, la hija del profesor, la cual es rescatada y llevada al cuartel general de Artigas, bajo un enorme volcán. Este filme está basado en la novela 'Face au Drapeau', que Jules Verne escribió en 1896. Combinando collage, animación fotograma a fotograma, falsas perspectivas, decorados, miniaturas y sobreimpresiones, Zeman construyó planos de un barroquismo hipnótico que, en una película como Una invención diabólica, dotaron de vida los aguafuertes elaborados por Benette y Riou para los libros de Julio Verne editados por Pierre-Jules Hetzel.
