Ukrainian actors Tarapunka and Shtepsel head off on tour to Moscow. They were supposed to travel by train in the coach number thirteen, but somebody had forgotten to attach their coach to the train. The train moved on, so the actors decided to walk to Moscow on foot and pull the coach along. A lot of merry adventures were waiting for them. The actors wittily amused the other wayfarers on the road, and recruited the most talented of them into their team.
