Plot summary

Foreign citizen Karbofos (allusion on Karabas Barabas; also a soviet term for Malathion insecticide) steals a rare species of striped elephant from a city zoo. Famous Kolobki brothers tackle the investigation.

In a souvenir shop, Karbofos obtains a certificate confirming that he had bought a porcelain elephant. Using this certificate he tries to get on a plane.

Luckily, the ingenious Kolobki arrive just in time to lure the elephant away with cod-liver oil and shoot Karbofos down with a balloon gun.
