Nothing good will come of all this. 'Pegasus' will never take off.

It's going to crash.

Tell me, please, Are you the flight bringing animals to the zoo?

Yes.

- You are Captain Selezniov? - Well, actually I'm Professor Selezniov.

- Professor Selezniov. It's all the same. - And I'm Alice.

That is of no importance. What is important is that you're flying past Aldebaran.

- What happened? - Nothing.

You must simply deliver a little cake to my grandson Kolya. It's his birthday.

- Where is this little cake? - Here. Obviously it's here.

You call that a little cake?

Well, do you think my grandson is going to eat alone, or with friends?

What do you think?

I don't think anything. I won't be flying anywhere.

No, you will be flying, captain...

You will fly! The Moscow zoo needs rare animals!

Kolya's grandma was right - on 12 June 2181 Captain Green...

...Professor Selezniov and his daughter Alice left on a search for rare animals.

Tomorrow, we refuel and start for the Planet Bluk.

So today, we rest.

And I'm going to the football game.

Today, here on the moon, there's a match between Earth and Planet Fixx

- I shall go with Alice. - Of course. She shouldn't go off alone.

But I'm already nine!

What can happen to me on the moon in the 22nd century?

There would be enough trouble with you even in the quiet 20th century.

Selezniov. Selezniov, old friend!

It can't be! How many light winters!

How many light years! What are you doing here?

- We're flying after animals, Gromozeka. - After animals? How wonderful!

And how's your daughter? Talking already?

Talking too much! She already finished second grade.

Really? How time flies...

So, second grade you say?

- Yes. - That calls for a celebration!

Waiter!

400 drops of valerian and a salad.

Hmm.. I asked for 400 drops, but there are 402 here.

400 drops, we never make mistakes.

Now then, did you hear that?

Everyone's always arguing with me. Nobody likes me.

What are you saying? Everyone likes you, Gromozeka!

Really?

So, have you heard about the Planet of the Captains?

Well, it's a familiar name.

There will be a museum there about the Two Captains.

Together they conquered the jungles of Evridik.

They wiped out the lair of Pirate Glot. They were such...

Yes, yes! I know all this!

And did you know, that the captains met a mass of rare animals?

Well, do you catch my drift?

I do, Gromozeka, thank you. Is it far?

It's very near, 100 parsecs!

By the way, the director there is a Doctor Verhovtsev.

A big friend of mine.

He'll show you the Captains' diaries.

He'll...

Doctor Verhovtsev!

Doc...

Now, why did he run away? Why?

Ah, can you believe it? And he's a friend...

- Perhaps you were mistaken? - Well... Perhaps.

Well now, that's what you get from two extra drops of valerian.

3 to 1 - in our favour!

Selezniov, is this your little one?

She is.

Hey! Release the girl! Low down bandit! Hooligan!

Oh no, put down Green. He tried to save me!

I won't even think of it!

He should know better than to tangle with a great archeologist. Good day!

Disgraceful!

Well, what's the bad news?

- We're flying to the Planet of the Captains. - Long live the captains!

This will all end badly.

Careful, the asteroids are very dangerous!

Follow me closely.

No disaster this time.

Welcome.

Unbelievable... I learned about them at school!

You're right, little miss. These are the Captains Kim and Buran.

In their ship 'The Blue Seagull' they flew around the whole universe.

Please be seated.

How can I help?

We are searching for rare animals, and the Captains have been on many planets, so...

- Would you like some tea? - No, thank you!

First, we would like to have a look at the diaries of the Captains.

You need the diaries?

- Will you show us the diaries? - I don't have any diaries.

- Perhaps we should leave? - Of course!

It was nice meeting you!

So, where are the Captains now?

I don't know anything. I never fly anywhere!

- He said he never flies anywhere. - This is all very strange.

- I don't like these secrets and mysteries. - But I love them very much!

Planet Bluk. Beginning descent.

Here they barter and sell the most marvelous animals.

Stop making a draught, or the child will get a chill.

We've had a terrible disaster - all the chatter-birds have been killed.

He did it.

Doctor Verhovtsev?

Why would the director of a museum kill the chatter-birds?

How do we know?

- Hello, Professor. - Good day, Navigator Basov.

Are you after animals too?

No, we're bound for Aldebaran.

Papa, look who's there.

Excuse me...

Excuse me, in which room is Doctor Verhovtsev staying?

- Room 8 - Thank you!

That person has left.

- How long ago? - Yesterday.

This is all very strange.

Tell me, please, how much does this bird cost?

Imbecile! It's me that's selling him!

This is a tiger-rat from the Planet Penelope. It feeds on wild bulls.

Be careful, papa, what if it also feeds on professors?

Hmm...

The right tail is longer!

- Papa, there are fish here. - The aquarium is empty.

Everyone thinks so.

- Papa, these are invisible fish. - There's no such thing.

There is, but not everyone believes it.

Take this, it's a hat of invisibility.

Thank you.

Help me! Please, help me, please!

Oh!

- Excuse me, what's this animal? - It's an Indicator.

He understands everything, but doesn't speak. He only changes colour.

Would you like me to strike him? He will turn speckled violet .

No, no, thank you! That's not necessary. Better if you sell him to us.

He doesn't want to be sold.

But do you want to be gifted to us?

He does!

Well then, take him! But quickly, before I change my mind!

Papa, there's a cow.

This is Skliz. He belongs to nobody.

He can fly, how wonderful!

Papa, let's take Skliz. I could fly to school on him.

Well, if that's what you want, then let's take him.

- Well, what's the bad news? - We have good news. We found Skliz.

But she... that is, he won't fit in the cruiser.

Skliz, go home.

Ah! This is undignified!

If cows are going to fly, the cosmos is no longer a place for me.

- I can offer you a kurguru. - No, thank you.

We'd like such a bird as nobody has seen before.

Too bad that all the chatter-birds have been killed.

- Chatter-birds? - Yes.

- What sort of birds were they? - They could speak and fly amongst the stars.

I have a chatter-bird to offer you.

That's great, but why are we whispering?

- Because I'm afraid. - But what happened?

Recently, a badly injured and barely alive chatter-bird flew into my home.

I nursed him back to health.

And yesterday a man from Earth came and asked to buy the chatter-bird.

I refused him.

He became angry and said the chatter-bird and I won't be left alive.

Ah, such a bird was sitting on the shoulder of Captain Kim.

- If you're not afraid, take him. - We're not afraid.

Farewell, friend, farewell.

An ambush!

- A real one? - Unfortunately, yes.

Green, can you hear me? Green, we need your help!

I hear you, but I've disassembled the cruiser.

Navigator Basov!

Take that! And that!

Papa, stand firm!

Alice, don't let him go!

They are robots - radio controlled.

Well there you are, I warned you.

This is great!

Now I can peep into the exercise books of the star pupils!

- Oh! where did you spring from? - Well, I...

Where did you spring from?

Are you going to fly, Kim? Mm, yes...

If you get into trouble, Kim - send the chatter-bird...

I'll come to help...

Thank you, Buran...

- These are the voices of the brave captains. - That means that this is their own chatter-bird!

Head for the Medusa system...

Papa, we must fly there. Captain Kim has sent the chatter-bird for help.

It's dangerous.

It would be better to summon a patrol ship from the Earth to help.
