Stárnoucí herec Theodor Bergner se v profesi chová jako primadona, v soukromí jako dokonalý hrubián a cholerik. Všichni lidé bez výjimky ho rozčilují, v lepším případě pro ně má podrážděné odseknutí, častěji ale přímé urážky. Navíc je obdařen velice zvláštním druhem humoru, vyžívá se v tom, že přivádí druhé do rozpaků. Jednoho dne potkává ve vlaku jakéhosi starého pána, z něhož se vyklube kouzelný dědeček. A od té chvíle se Theodor veze na klouzačce nepříjemných situací. Přesně podle přísloví Co sám nechceš, nečiň jinému si může vychutnat všemožné trapasy, jaké doposud zlomyslně připravoval nešťastníkům ve svém okolí... (oficiální text distributora)

Small stories from a grammar school.Děj je poskládán z celé řady epizod, které během jednoho školního roku prožívají septimáni. Jejich pojítkem je příběh profesora přírodopisu Matulky, starého mládence a věčného suplenta, který si z přehnané svědomitosti ani v pokročilém věku netroufá složit tu poslední státnici. Stále se mu totiž zdá, že ještě něco nezná, a tak by snad bez diplomu odešel i do penze. Naštěstí jsou tu jeho studenti, kteří sice dávají dobráckému učiteli pěkně zabrat, ale po nezodpovědné klukovině s bouchacími kuličkami, kdy se Matulkovi udělá špatně, se kluci vzpamatují a s pomocí mladého profesora, někdejšího Matulkova žáka, připraví šlechetnou lest. Pod záminkou nákupu k doplnění školní entymologické sbírky je vylákán ke zkoušce u laskavého profesora Vondráka. (oficiální text distributora)
