However, he is definitely not ready for the scrap heap, or rather, the woodpile. For his centenary, he has gifted himself a new film adventure. This time, he and Mánička will travel all the way to distant Tramtárie, where they must save not only their four-legged friend Žeryk, who is on the menu of a greedy carnivore, but also fix the broken water cycle.
