action

The boy Petya Subov is always wasting time. He never gets out of bed early, although his dog and mother urge him to hurry, and strolls on the way to school until he is late for class 3. What he does not know is that four evil wizards are after the wasted time of children, who catch them in sand and bake rejuvenation cakes from it in order to become younger again. When Petya prefers to annoy an angler and jump over puddles instead of going to school, one of the magicians collects his excess time in a sack that is immediately full. The children Wasja, Marussja and Nadja also get their wasted time stolen. The evil wizards do not turn into young adults with the help of the time cakes, but into children, as too much time has been wasted. Petya becomes an old man who neither his teacher nor his mother recognizes. Petya initially enjoys his time as an old man, but soon realizes that he has not learned enough to get along in the adult world. Only his dog recognizes him and both take refuge in a forest. Here Petja's dog finds access to the realm of evil wizards in a hollow tree. Petya arrives at their hut and gives the thirsty wooden cuckoo of the cuckoo clock some water. He tells him that the evil wizards have transformed him. All he has to do is cast a spell and turn the cuckoo clock back three times to be a child again. If he turns the clock right away, only he will become a child. The other three children who also transformed the wizards would stay that old. In any case, however, the clock must be turned until sunset or the children will stay old forever.

Petya returns to town with his dog and gradually finds the other three children, Wasja, Marussja and Nadja. They rush back into the forest. Even the wizards who cause strife in the city have now recognized that children know how to transform themselves back. A race against time begins and children and magicians arrive at the magician's hut at the same time. There is a fight. Petya finally manages to turn back the clock. All transformed children become young again and the wizards disappear completely, since their spell is now broken. The children promise to use their time better in the future.
