The protagonist (Rudolf Hrusinsky) is a dull, fat, shy government clerk indulging in voyuerism and ego fantasies. In love with another clerk (Kveta Fiolova), he is urged on in his pursuit by a commiserate executive. The story is told in a flashback sequence as the cuckolded Hrusinsky attempts suicide by gassing himself in his bathtub. The "Murder" of the title is not a murder as such, rather the murder that Hrusinsky remembers planning upon discovering his wife's unfaithfulness with his supposed friend and advisor. Both plots failing in his mind, he loses himself in fantastic reveries of his funeral and of hypocritical mourners. ' Deciding (perhaps) that this is not the way out either, he gives up the attempt and imagines a life of reconciliation and eventual affluence.

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.

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.

A comedy based on the novel of Jaroslav Hašek's The Good Soldier Svejk happens during the World War I. I Dutifully Report: In the introduction to the second part of the film adaptation of Hašek's novel The Good Soldier Švějk presents his main character Josef Švejk. With the distinctive traditional Czech cartoon character of a soldier Svejk, this time you meet on the way to the front and eventually right in the firing line. You can look at his famous train events, and also probably the most famous episode of the novel, Švejk's Budějovice anabasis. Don't miss the scene with the secretly bought cognac, the episode with Svejk as a fake Russian prisoner of war, including the court scene, and the scene in which lieutenant Dub is caught in a brothel. Despite the criticism, Steklý's adaptation is undoubtedly the most famous and memorable at present.
