Tomáš is a young mischievous boy living with his uncle Václav and aunt Apolena. Tomáš is determined to win the heart of his crush, Blanka, by attempting to win a book of Old Bohemian Legends, which is their school’s best pupil. To win, students must collect commendation slips for good behavior. Knowing his own record is poor, Tomáš begins trading favors and services with other boys such as Hubert and Jožka to obtain their slips. When he still falls short, Tomáš and his friends break into the principal’s office to steal a larger supply. At a school ceremony, Tomáš is celebrated for having the most slips, but is found out, and in fear of getting punished by the school and by his aunt, Tomáš and his friends fake their deaths and run away to Pokštejn Castle to camp. While in the castle, they find out that criminals Ležatka, Pajdák, and Petr, who have just used dynamite to rob the town’s savings bank and hidden their loot in the castle. While exploring the castle, they find the hidden loot, and go back to town to return it during their own funerals, for the townspeople think they have drowned.
