Synopsis

Two ordinary schoolchildren, Mach and Šebestová, gain magical powers thanks to a gift in the form of a broken phone receiver. The receiver fulfils their wishes, allowing them to visit various places around the world and beyond, travelling through time, and encountering interesting and unusual situations. During their adventures, the duo is usually followed by a friendly dog named Jonatán, and they often meet its owner, Mrs. Kadrnožková. Two of their classmates, poor students and incorrigible rascals Horáček and Pažout, are the show's main antagonists. Each episode begins with Mach climbing down the railing to Šebestová's door on his way to school, ringing her doorbell, and hiding. When Šebestová opens the door, she is startled and screams, and they go to school together.
