Full plot (contains spoilers)
Saxána, a young witch who escaped into the human world, now has a family and a daughter, Saxánka. One day, Saxánka goes up to the attic, where she discovers her mother’s secret: a chest containing a forgotten book of spells. She immediately tries one of the spells, summons the imp Krakavous, and runs away with him into the fairy-tale world. Her aunt Irma also ends up there after falling out of a train. The ruler of the realm falls in love with Irma, and she shows him a comic book featuring Crashman, a madman who wants to rule the world. The wizard Vigo wants to curry favor with the ruler, so he brings Crashman to life. Crashman seizes the magic wand, turns the inhabitants to stone, and falls in love with Irma. Saxánka is watched over by the Morkolabs. Krakavous wants to help her, but while he searches for the Lexicon of Spells, Saxánka manages on her own. Then they want to stop Crashman, and they plan to ask Saxánka’s grandfather Netopýr for advice on where to look for the Lexicon. Baba Yaga is holding him prisoner, so they go to rescue him. Meanwhile, Irma takes the wand from Crashman and escapes onto the train she fell out of. There, the publisher Pleskot falls in love with her. Back on Earth, events unfold as Saxána searches the attic for Saxánka and discovers the book. She tries to cast spells, but things go terribly wrong. Saxánka frees her grandfather and finds the Lexicon of Spells. She reverses the spell on those who were turned to stone and returns home as an owl, along with her grandfather. Irma resolves the problem of having too many suitors by enchanting them into three Irmas.
