In the lethargic town of Quiquendonne, Dr Ox plans to enliven the citizens with a new gas while trying to evade his former fiancée, Princess Prascovia. The experiment intensifies the townspeople’s passions and romantic entanglements; after the gas drives the town toward war, a laboratory explosion restores the old calm, and Ox reunites with Prascovia.
Prince Caprice rejects the crown and marriage, choosing instead to travel to the Moon with his father, King Vlan, and the scholar Microscope in a cannon-launched shell. On the Moon, Caprice and Princess Fantasia fall in love after she tastes an apple, while lunar society treats love as an illness and sells women at a market. After schemes and disguises, the travellers are imprisoned in a volcano but escape during its eruption and return to safety.
