A performance begins with mock lectures about the fictional polymath Jára Cimrman before turning to four Czech winter swimmers on a comic expedition to the North Pole. Their journey is beset by melancholy, hunger, a mistaken penguin encounter, and a frozen explorer who revives after serving as part of a supposed cryogenic experiment. The expedition's triumph is kept secret so Austria will not receive credit.
On an international express, celebrated inspector Trachta and a police apprentice investigate after a businessman dies following treatment for a toothache. The detective play also frames the case with lectures debating the fictional Czech detective’s criminal-investigation work.
After a lecture featuring Czech historical subjects, the stage play presents the Czech Heaven Commission during World War I. Led by Saint Václav, its members include Jan Amos Komenský, Forefather Czech, Jan Hus, Karel Havlíček Borovský, Babička and other figures who debate the country’s legacy in a comic dramatic testament.
