In the village cemetery, the funeral of a married couple - victims of a car crash - is ending. The relatives unscrupulously take away the facilities of the dead people's little cottage, totally ignorant of the fate of eight-year old Ruda (
Josef Filip), whom the childless couple took from a children's home and adopted. Fortunately, an elderly lonesome uncle named Tony (
Ludovít Króner) remains in the empty cottage and decides to take care of the boy, nicknamed Münchie after Baron Münchhausen for his wild imagination.
