Little Moomin waits longingly for his friend Schnupferich, who has still not returned from his trip. In addition to the new member of the Moomin family, the small, cheeky Mü, a volcano tending to erupt is a cause for concern. The following night, a storm sets in, which is triggered by the volcano and floods the Moomin Valley.

The theater

With the rising water, the Moomin family can save themselves on the roof of the Moomin house. In the water, the Moomins notice a house that they save themselves to to avoid further dangers. At first amazed by the paper walls and the backdrops in the back rooms, they find out that the house is a theater .

Emma

While Moominfather, Moomin, Hemul and the Snoop are going fishing with the snorkeling girl, the Moominmother gets to know the actual owner of the house, who has not yet revealed herself. Emma explains to the Moomin family that the "house" is not a "house" but a theater.

The dress rehearsal

After Moomin and the snork girl met a very friendly Filifionka in the forest, they also get to know the evil guardian of a park. This bullies twelve forest children. Moomin and the snork girl decide to free the forest children from the park ranger. The Moomin family now occupies the roles and plans the dress rehearsal, which does not go as expected. On the island, the snuff, who happened to be there, helps the forest children to escape. When the park attendant notices this, he arrests Moomin, Filifionka and the snork girl.

First broadcast: October 16, 1960.

Back home

The parking attendant has decided to go to the theater. That's why he's looking for someone to guard the prisoners. Schnupferich seems to him just suitable for this, which he uses to free the prisoners. However, Filifionka wants to stay because she fell in love with the parking attendant. The parking attendant is also in love with Filifionka when he comes back. Muskrat and Emma have also fallen in love in the theater and decide to stay together. Schnupferich, who wants to return to the Moomin Valley, follows the Moomin family back to their homeland, where the storm has already stopped.
