Synopsis

Ordinary schoolchildren Mach and Šebestová gain magical powers thanks to a donated magic phone receiver. The receiver fulfils their wishes, allowing them to visit various places and encounter interesting and unusual situations. During their adventures, the students are usually followed by a friendly dog named Jonatán, and often meet with its owner, Mrs. Kadrnožková. Two of their classmates, poor students and incorrigible urchins Horáček and Pažout, are the series' main antagonists.
