When British philosopher Harold Hilliard took off for Warsaw to lecture on the Dysteleological Surd, he had no idea that he would soon become embroiled in international espionage. During the trip he tried to open a suitcase he mistook for his own. When a fellow passenger, a Pole with stainless steel teeth, took umbrage, Hilliard put it down to bad manners, but when the same man saw him pick up the wrong coat in the plane, Hilliard realized that he was suspected of spying. The party at the airport to welcome Hilliard only convinced the Polish agent that the British Secret Service was now picking its men with extraordinary cleverness. Hilliard, whose works were little known in England, was warmed by unaccustomed praise but chilled by the apparent certainty of the counter espionage people that he was a British agent whose code name was Whale.

Ночью на площади священник Малахиас молит Бога, чтобы тот убрал ночной бар подальше от церкви. Бог исполняет просьбу Малахиаса, и бар по воздуху переносится на пустынный остров. На месте бара открывается торговля святой водой, сосисками, изображениями Малахиаса. Печать, радио и телевидение используют это «чудо» и дурачат наивных верующих. А торговцы и спекулянты зарабатывают на этом большие деньги. В баре богатые бездельники и рыцари наживы устраивают безобразные оргии. Увидев все это, Малахиас умоляет Бога сделать «чудо» несостоявшимся. И бар в своем первоначальном виде оказывается на прежнем месте.
