The good dragon Mrak settles down in the neighborhood of the charcoal burner Patočka in the woods of a kingdom. While on a hunt, the royal butlers spot the dragon and run to report it to the king. The dragon is depicted as a terrifying beast and, since tradition holds that dragon's eat princesses, the king is understandably upset. A reward for killing the dragon is thus announced, but potential heroes either don't want to fight it, or they are not selected by the king. Meanwhile, Patočka's daughter Lidka meets the dragon and soon realizes that Mrak is harmless. When Lidka learns that the king wants to have Mrak killled, she sends him to the castle to convince the king of his goodness. (Zlín Film Festival)
